This was my first visit to Paris. I couldn't have picked a better place to welcome me. The studio is exactly like the pictures. For almost a month, I felt like I was truly living here like a Parisian and not a tourist. Great location, comfy bed, very peaceful (occasionally you can hear the kitchen of the restaurant next door.. but its not loud.. only makes you hungry or inspired to cook something at home; you could only hear it from the bathroom not the bedroom), the temperature of the apartment is perfect (always cool - ideal for hot Paris summer), friendly neighbors and extremely safe. Ideal for female solo travelers as well! I really loved the layout of this apartment. Silly, but I also loved the shower. I had a lot of fun singing there. I hope the restaurant next door loved my music.

The best part.. the Tour Eiffel is literally a hop and skip away. It was magical being able to take a night stroll to see the Tour Eiffel sparkle at night.

Paris isn't cheap. So, this apartment is well equipped to cook at home. I had a lot of fun making dishes that I love. Xavier has the apartment furnished with dishes and tools you may need.

Xavier was a great host and very accommodating when my flight was delayed. I am happy to have a new friend in Paris. Thank you for making my birthday trip to Paris memorable.
