Dave was an excellent host! The reviews I read left me with high expectations & he did not disappoint. He made it incredibly easy to find his place & made himself very accessible- I was delayed at the airport because the airline lost my bag & he left the key in the mailbox for me to retrieve at my convenience. It took a lot of stress off of that day! He also helped me immensely with getting my luggage back as I did not have a working phone in France. I am so appreciative. The place was great, a two minute walk from the metro (probably the best metro system I have seen in the world). He helped to recommend me places to go in my short visit & left me a map & an umbrella along with some water, coffee, fruit, juice, etc. The room was nice, big & private! Wifi connection works great & shower/kitchen facilities excellent. I will definitely get in touch with Dave when I return to Paris! He salvaged a very rainy, cold, and stressful three days! Cheers.
