Though we were unable to meet Leo, he made sure we were met at the metro station by his parent, which facilitated our arrival greatly. They showed us around the apartment and even had a bottle of wine to welcome us:). Leo's apartment was just as depicted in photos and was very inviting. The apartment was equipped with all the necessities (pots, plates, cups, etc.) and even had condiments and breakfast items that were made available to us. Leo was very helpful when any issues arose and we were able to contact him easily. In respects to the neighborhood, the area is great for getting a feel for local parisian life. There are plenty of restaurants and stores within walking distance, with the more popular attractions accessible through the metro which is less than a block away. Overall, staying at Leo's apartment was a great experience and would recommend it to any one looking for a place in Paris!
