Our host Franck welcomed us at the door, and left us flowers and food basics. He is personable, reliable and helpful, providing us with invaluable information and helping us get set up. The description of the apartment on airbnb was accurate. It is bright, compact and airy, and decorated with Franck's arty photographs. Everything in the apartment is modern and immaculate. We loved the fresh food street market up the street, and the proximity of grocery stores, bakeries, a butcher shop, wine stores etc. on the ground level, just steps away. There are Metro stops close by, and the Arc de Triomphe can be seen by walking a block or so, but our street felt like a cozy neighbourhood, not a touristy place. It provided an authentic experience that a hotel never could. Delightful!

Note that access is by a two flight spiral staircase - typically Parisian - and guests should bring a cell phone or iPad.
