This is the posting I should have made in April 2012 so here goes. Francisco is 100% the absolute best host you could find on the planet. His flat is amazing. Three of us used it comfortably. In 150 sq ft that's unheard of, right? Not so as there was tons of room for our bags and all our junk. We had cooking facilities, a great washroom and shower and the loft bed was dreamy. The apartment is a bit tough to find as the street is tucked inside another street but a good Google Map will get you there from the Louvre in less than 15 min. I could not find a friend I was supposed to meet at the metro stop and Francisco walked the streets of Paris with me for over 2 hrs trying to find her. He wouldn't give up. I was so impressed there are no words to thank him for his kindness. Not only is his place 5 star, so is he! I would recommend anyone stay here. The best and most affordable find in the centre of Paris. I loved his stories and the knowledge he shared with us about the city. I will stay with him again on my next trip to gay Paris!!!!!! Thanks again Francisco for all you did for us! Susan, Kole and Toni!
