Gary's flat is in an excellent location, close to everything, including several Metro stops & the RER (with a direct train to the CDG airport!). There are restaurants and cafés around the corner, as well as a Franprix across the street. It is also very close to the beautiful Parc de Luxembourg (which is especially perfect if you are travelling with kids!).
The street is calm and the apartment is located in a charming little courtyard. The apartment is a little worn, but very clean and well equipped. Kitchen amenities are brand new. Great internet connection & kind offer to use fixed phone for local calls for free.
Communication with Gary was excellent throughout both booking and during our stay.
Gary rents out his place when he is out of town. His helpful apartment caretaker waited patiently for us at the apartment (despite our delayed arrival), to show us around & hand over keys.
We travelled as a family with our two daughters (2 & 5 years old), and it was very handy to stay in Gary's apartment. The girls could walk up the two flights of stairs themselves, and there was nothing fragile or dangerous in the apartment. They slept nicely in the bedroom, and us on the clic-clac sofa bed in the living room.
