Franck's listing does a good job of representing the place as it is. He is a genuine and nice guy. He takes great pride in this beautiful and tastefully decorated apartment (and he should). He met us to give the key and show how everything works, and was also very thoughtful. He took an interest in our plans and helped with local knowledge. He also provided a bottle of wine, fruits, fresh bread, juice, milk and coffee. (We very hungry after a long trip from the US. Thanks again Franck.)

Franck's apartment just might be the best place to stay in Paris, on a street that has all the essential shops if you never wanted to travel more than one block. The market is amazing and they carry fresh food of all types displayed beautifully. It's a real Paris neighborhood with a real Paris market -- not a tourist trap.

The neighborhood also seems very safe. We walked around at all hours. It's about 5 minutes to walk to the Metro and Arc de Triumphe so you can get anywhere from there. There are also many restaurants and cafes close by.

If we return to Paris we will check with Franck to see if his place is available again. Would strongly recommend it to anyone.
