My husband and I found Benoit's apartment to be a great place to stay in Paris. It was a comfortable, peaceful place to collapse in after a day of sightseeing. The bed was comfortable, and the apartment quiet so we slept very well. The bathroom was very nice (with a shower big enough for 2 people), and the kitchen was one that a person could actually cook in. Occasionally we could hear a soft rumble from the Metro but it was a quiet sound and never bothered us at all. The location was great, because it is right next to a Metro line that has many good connections. The neighborhood is very French, and very nice. A fun thing is that is practically next door to the Bon Marche (the famous original one) which has a fantastic huge gourmet deli and grocery store. We bought some meals there which were great. We never met Benoit in person, but he made sure we got into the apartment OK and when we called him on the phone for help with a couple little things, he was very helpful. I recommend Benoit and his apartment highly.
