We just got back from 7 lovely nights in Paris and the experience was only enhanced by this lovely apartment. Franck was punctual meeting us at the apartment and although we never needed him for anything, it was nice to know that he lives in Paris and could easily be reached by email or phone.

Franck was very nice and made sure the apartment was clean when we moved in. We did not speak much French so it was nice that Franck could understand English.

He also has copies of his published book in the apartment which was cool. Franck owns a few other apartments in the city, but we only stayed in this one. Given the price and location of this apartment, it really was a no-brainer choosing this apartment.

Highlights of the apartment

Great Location:
- The hotel de ville metro station, which goes directly to many locations is just downstairs the apartment. We did not even have to go across the street to get to it.

- Pompidou and Notre Dame were each a 2 minute walk away

- There was a Franprix supermarket (chain supermarket) 5 minutes away where we could get meats for sandwiches, wines, cheeses, eggs and milk.

- Our favorite Boulangerie (bakery) was 5 minutes away. It's called boulangerie Heurtier and has the best baguettes, sandwiches and chocolate croissants we've ever had. We went here for breakfast almost everyday and also to grab a few baguettes for our day.

- proximity to great restaurants, 10-15 minute walk to Breizh Cafe, Chez Robert et Louise, and Frenchie. It is also 10 minutes away from the latin quarter if you want more food options (albeit a bit more touristy)

Comfortable and spacious apartment
- Very comfortable bed, clean linen and pillows, and great and clean bathroom with a full shower. There is also a kitchen stocked with tea, kettle, microwave, cookware, toaster, oven etc. The living room has a big red sofa that is super comfy, great lighting a coffee table and a desk and chair if you want to do work.

- The apartment is very spacious, especially if you're from NYC and used to living in sardine boxes.

- The wifi is very fast, and Franck provides outlet converters so you can plug in your American computers/iphone chargers.

- very safe neighborhood. We came home late at night every day and never once did we feel unsafe. The apartment is in the 4th arrondisement in the Marais which is a more affluent neighborhood and very lively at nights, especially the weekends. There are a ton of cafes and restaurants in the area and everyone we met were super friendly and nice.
