Xavier is a wonderful host and gives great advice on where to go and eat in Paris. His location is perfect, near the metro and Place de Vosges which has lots of great coffee shops and art galleries (and the Victor Hugo museum!). The apartment was a little smaller then what the pictures made it seem but most apartments in Paris are small. The kitchen had everything you needed to make your own meal which was perfect. If you are older or have bad knees or back then this probably isn't the best place for you because the stairs going to the bed are steep and it is a bit hard to get up and down, but other than that is a great place! Thank you Xavier!
