I realy enjoyed my stay at François' place! The area/building is very secure and everything you might ever need is near - there is a grocery on the next building (Carrefour), a lot of cafes/restaurants (loved Holybelly and Le Poutch), pharmacies, and several boulangeries around the area - it is also near several metro stations and bus stops. (Or you can opt to have a 30-minute lovely stroll to the 1st/4th arr.) The flat is well equipt, neat and beautifully designed and I really felt at home during my stay. (especially loved the balcony and currently missing spending my afternoons there). I didn't get to meet François, but communication was very clear and swift. He made sure that I had everything that I needed before arriving and checking out - he was also just one message and phone call away. Would definitely love to stay at his place again the next time I'm in Paris! Thank you :)
