What a lovely place to stay! My husband and I stayed for just over a week in Paris. We were very comfortable in Xavier's apartment. He welcomed us personally and gave us a mini tour of the building and local area. The apartment has all the amenities to make you feel at home -- fully equipped kitchenette, large bathroom with a nice shower, and a cozy living space. The pull-out bed was very practical and comfortable as well. Located on the ground floor of an inner courtyard, it felt very safe and secure. The building is in a perfect location just steps from the Eiffel Tower which we were able to enjoy at all times of day and night. The neighbourhood is very central and there were many great shops and restaurants in walking range. We did not want to leave!
