Me and my boyfriend stayed in Francisco's studio in Paris from the 21/10/2013 to 23/10/2013. Francisco's flat was very well located and easy to find. The apartment is close to many metro stations and walking distance to most of the important sights. The area itself is very vibrant, with many restaurants, shops and cafes, and a short walk to Marais, which has become our favourite place to eat and to buy macaroons and chocolates in the lovely designer patisseries and chocolatiers.

The flat itself is very small, but it was perfect for me and my boyfriend. The bathroom is actually a wash room so very small and a little bit annoying to have to dry the toilet seat after a shower, but to be honest it wasn't a problem for us. The bedroom is a loft bedroom and it's basically just the bed (there isn't space for much else). Even though the flat was very compact, it was modern, clean and ideal for a couple who doesn't intend to spend hours in there. We found maps and guide books there when we arrived too which was very helpful.

Francisco greeted us when we arrived and he was very helpful and pleasant. He gave us many tips, answered all the many questions we had and made us feel welcome. I was impressed with how many languages he could speak! Oh, and he was nice enough to keep our bags in his flat next door for many hours after checking out of the flat.

Overall, our stay was lovely and we would not only recommend Francisco's place, but also stay there again when we return to Paris. It was very good value and the location was perfect.
