We had a wonderful time in Paris, made extra enjoyable by staying in Cédric's lovely and comfortable apartment! We would stay there again in a heartbeat - no question. The flat, furniture, bed, appliances, etc. are all very nice and well taken care of. It was so close (5 min away) to the heart of Le Marais restaurants, shops, cute streets, etc., and close to three metro stops (each ~2 min away). It is bright with natural sunlight, it is very clean (and organized), and exceptionally warm- three things that are really important to me. It was also very very quiet despite being on a quite bustling street (perhaps helped by the double windows which also helped with the warmth). Internet was very fast (work conference calls not a problem), and it was great having access to a washing machine (clothes dried fast hanging in the warm flat).

But perhaps the best part of it all was how great it was to be hosted by Cédric. It was easy and quick to communicate with him from the beginning of placing my request. Not only that, but he was so kind and generous with his communication - he gave me and my friend each detailed, easy to follow instructions to and from the apartment and our various modes of transport into and out of Paris (train station and different airports). He also sent us a list of things to see and do that we otherwise would not have known about. His attention to detail and to hosting well was incredible - he supplied slippers for us to borrow, personally showed us how things work in the apartment, greeted us with milk, coffee, wine, nuts, tea, etc., and left us with informative pamphlets and notes about things to do and see. If I am lucky to be in Paris again I will definitely try to stay here. Thank you Cédric!!
