Everything was perfect about Simon's place! Location is absoutely great: great restaurants nearby, Place de la République is very close, transportation is close as well, the neighborhood is very cool, and it's close to other great areas as well. Simon was very accomodating, quick to reply, flexible about check-in time; he provided great recommendations as well. And his apartment is beautiful and has everything you'd need; great building, quiet as well, there's an elevator which is always appreciated if you're traveling with luggage. I'd love to come back someday. Thanks, Simon!
