Xavier’s apartment was very cute and quite spacious for a couple and has a Parisian/atmospheric touch to it. It is a bit older than it looks in the photos, but is very clean and in very good condition. The heating worked perfectly all day long, it had all the appliances needed for breakfast of cooking and also a washing machine. The building is very safe, the neighborhood has a lot of options and the metro is really a 5 min walk.
We did not get to meet Xavier, and although he was a little busy at the time of our communications, he did allow us to check in early and check out late and introduced us to his friend Cecile which was very helpful in all aspects.
Cecile was great and gave us a lot of info about various things that we asked and was especially kind on our last day and helped us out a lot. We would definitely recommend Xavier’s apartment, because its price was very reasonable, the area was a very good starting point for walking and sightseeing and the apartment was very comfortable and sweet.
