Xavier was a good host and made sure we we were comfortable. As our flight to Paris arrived early in the day, we were able to drop our bags off mid-day, a huge help. The room was clean, quiet, spacious and comfortable with space to hang up clothes in the wardrobe. The flat's decor is fun plus lots of window. There were a couple of minor problems (power went out briefly...a fuse blew) which Xavier attended to promptly. The location is excellent, 1 block from metro with 3 lines, walking distance to many sights, bistros/cafes, etc. We really enjoyed the Marche de Bastille, open air market on Thursdays & Sundays. If you have mobility problems, this is probably not your ideal place as the bedroom is down a steep spiral staircase, although no problem for us. Xavier helped me get my phone to work with the Paris sim card.
