My boyfriend and I had a great 4-night stay at Patrick's place! We didn't meet Patrick but he was very responsive prior to our stay, answering questions and arranging a cab to pick us up at the airport. Benoit was waiting to greet us at the apartment and took the time to explain everything about the apartment and surrounding area. He also lives just a few streets over and told us not to hesitate to reach out to him if we needed anything.
The climb up 5 flights of stairs is a bit of a hike as other reviewers noted, but we didn't mind. The apartment was very clean and thoughtfully put together. The apartment key is in a combination lock box just outside the apartment door which made check-out really easy. We also just kept the key in there when we left for the day so we didn't have to worry about losing it.
The location was perfect. We walked most places and took the metro (2 stops are very close to the apartment) to sights a little further away like the Arc de Triomphe and Montmartre. Lots of good food options in the neighborhood too.
We would definitely look to stay here again if we're ever back in Paris!
