This apartment is just like home because it is a home. We were welcomed in person and with assistance with our luggage by the owner Mathieu's helper Tristan as the apartment is only available when the owner is away himself. The owner has, however, written a guide to the neighborhood of his favorite restaurants and shops and also has several excellent guide books to Paris which were displayed on the dinning room table. Mathieu was in contact on occasion during our stay inquiring as to our comfort and needs, if any may have arisen. We highly recommend Matheiu's Paris apartment if you should be fortunate enough to have the opportunity.
