I cannot recommend Didier's place enough!
It is exactly as pictured - absolutely no surprises. It is stylish, clean, and very comfortable.
The location is outstanding. 2 minutes from a metro station, and in a safe neighborhood. The street is busy, but the apartment is located in a courtyard that makes you feel like you have literally been transported into a sweet, romantic Parisian suburb. It felt like the best of both worlds.
Didier is an excellent communicator, responding quickly and efficiently to all of my inquiries. Check in and check out was a breeze, and he even has a little laminated booklet with instructions, tips, and local recommendations.
The bed is super comfortable! My partner and I both have bad backs, so the fact that we were able to sleep soundly and wake up without any soreness is a testament to how great the bed is. It really changes a trip, having a good night's sleep!
The shower is clean with great water pressure (though shower fast as the hot water is limited!) and the kitchen is easy and intuitive to cook in. We also did a load of laundry while we were there, which was great and worked well.
Merci, Didier, for the marvelous stay! It truly made our trip, and I hope I get to come back and stay in your place again!
