Loc's sister Lia checked me in and everything went smoothly. They had to show the apartment to next prospect tenant/buyer a day after i checked in, and i was kindly asked to make sure everything is presentable. I didn't mind at all , being a real estate broker in NYC. The best part is Lia offered me wine and cheese with her family, and this experience was just beautiful ! This is something you can never get if you were staying in a hotel. I had fun staying in his apartment with a little Parisian Balcony where i did my computer work somethings, so peaceful and Parisian. The only drawback is the apartment is on the top floor of a walk-up building, so if you are traveling with alot of luggages, you would need second hand to help. Other than that, the apartment itself is simple, bright and has everything you will need staying in paris for short or long term. I would strongly recommend this !
