Everything about our stay at this apartment was perfect. Alberic was there to greet us upon our arrival. He was friendly and responsive to our questions. He walked us through the apartment, explaining the details of what was available and how things worked. He later emailed us a list of recommended near-by restaurants -- which we used on several occasions. He quickly answered any emails we sent.

The apartment itself was wonderful and exactly as described. What we liked most was how spacious and uncluttered it was; it had a completely separate bedroom and living room.

The kitchen, although small, was fully stocked with staples that Alberic said we were free to use. There was also a full set of dishes and utensils. It has a dishwasher. The balcony/deck was a great bonus. On several nights, we had our dinner outside. Very pleasant.

What else? The bathroom was fine; the hot shower was especially welcome. The free Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The flat-screen TV was great on those few occasions when we wanted to hear some news. The apartment was on the seventh floor, conveniently with an elevator.

Finally, as to the location, we loved it. The Montparnasse area is vibrant and busy, without being touristy. Many great stores and restaurants are nearby; the perfect place to return after a day of sightseeing. And it's walking distance to many of the top spots of the city: Luxembourg Gardens, Notre Dame, etc.

If we ever return to Paris, we would definitely want to stay here again. Alberic was a great host and the apartment was just what we wanted.
