We just returned from a fabulous 5 day stay in Benoit's flat. We were so pleased by the comfort and charm of this apartment and Benoit was a very gracious host. This was our first trip to Paris and he gave us wonderful guidance on where to find everything in the neighborhood from subway stops to food & wine markets to dining out. The location was tremendous - Many good bistro/restaurants in easy walking distance. Loads of shopping and small art galleries - there must have been over 100 galleries! One of the city's best bakeries right next door. We did all the Paris "tourist" sight-seeing since this was our first trip and could walk to most of Paris' highlights - the Louvre, Notre Dam, Musee D'Orsay, Luxembourg Gardens, Eiffel Tower (about 45 min walk). This apartment was just perfect for us and we definitely will plan a return trip. Merci beau-coup Benoit!
