Glenn was a very kind and helpful host! He walked us through the whole apartment and explained how to use everything when we arrived. He even left fresh fruit, wine, coffee, milk, soda, and 2 metro tickets to get us started. We were able to use the landline phone to call back to the states for free which was really nice. The apartment was very clean and much more spacious than Paris hotel rooms. The washer and dryer were extremely convenient and allowed us to pack enough clothes for 6 days rather than 12, and travel without large rolling suitcases. Much easier than dragging heavy pieces of luggage around on trains and cobblestone streets through Europe. It was decorated really nicely and had a lot of character. The location was very good as well. We were able to walk there easily from the train station (De Norde) with heavy backpacks and could walk to the Louvre in about 20/25 minutes. I'd definitely recommend this apartment to others looking for a place to stay in Paris!
