First of all, the apartment was very clean and very comfortable, with all the amenities we wanted for our short stay. Checking in was very easy and quick, getting excellent instructions from our host Stephane. The apartment is located outside the "tourist zone" so it was quieter and neighborhood had a more authentic Paris feel to it. There were a number of cafes and restaurant close by, as well as an excellent patisserie/boulangerie. We were close to two Metro/RER stations so getting to other parts of Paris was relatively quick and easy. Stephane was the perfect host for us, always responding to our questions in a timely manner. We would be more than happy to stay in this apartment the next time we visit Paris.
