First of all, the flat was just as it was described if not better. The photos of the apartment did not capture the feel of the apartment with all ifs special effects such as original art work, REAL cut flowers, beautiful wooden windows opening up into an inner courtyard and the supplies that Romain left for us. It was also quiet and very safe. Second, the location was exceptional. Last time I stayed in Paris, I was in the Latin Quarter so when I saw where the flat was located, I braced myself for disappointment. It turned out to be the very opposite. We loved the location. It is on a pedestrian section (NO CARS) with lots of cafes and people strolling.

But the best thing to come with Romain's flat was Romain himself. He was in constant communication with us before during and even after (asking how our stay was). He greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm. He gave a personal tour not only of the flat the area we stayed pointing out good places to eat, important sites to see and a little history. He was responsive and available to all our questions both then and throughout our stay. I've used Airbnb a handful of times before this –all good experiences– but this is far and away the best.
