Gilles was easy to get in touch with for coordinating arrival and departure. My fiancee and I had an annoying late arrival, but Gilles was kind enough to accommodate us and greet us with some wine and excellent neighborhood tips.

He has a very beautiful, clean apartment (even lovelier than the pictures lead on). It's decorated very well, too. Gilles cleared out a lot closet and drawer space for us. And everything in the kitchen worked great, so cooking at home was a breeze.

Gille's place is smack dab in the middle of a great neighborhood, the 11th arrondissement. In fact, our only regrets concerning our stay was not spending more time in the 11th!

I'm an Airbnb newbie and feel lucky to have gotten Gilles as a host on my first stay.
