My parents came to visit Paris, and we had the pleasure of staying in Etienne's beautiful apartment. The location was very practical, about a 5 minute walk from Gare du Nord which has many metro/train lines leading to all the best areas in Paris. Etienne kept regular contact to ensure that we had everything we needed. We called him upon arrival and he opened the front door remotely, we didn't even meet eachother...perfect for those who want to get out and explore Paris as soon as they possibly can! Yes there are 6 flights of stairs, but what better way to burn off all the croissants?! I don't have a bad word to say.
