Manual was the perfect host, and he help make our first trip to Paris truly wonderful. The apartment was very quiet and tucked away in a passage in the Bastille neighborhood, which was chic and charming and full of adorable shops, boulangeries, restaurants, cafes, and more. It was the perfect place to stay. Manual's apartment was spotless and professionally appointed. Every detail was well-designed: the lighting, room fragrance, books, decor, fixtures and appliances set a luxurious and relaxing tone. It was perfection. Manual was welcoming and helpful in every interaction and went above and beyond our expectations. There were abundant grocery options in the area, and it was easy to make a simple and delicious breakfast each morning in the well-equipped and ultra-modern kitchen. There was a washer and dryer that allowed us to pack lighter and wash clothes to re-wear. Highly recommended! We will be back. Thank you Manuel!
