We felt immediately welcome in Manuel's beautiful home. A bottle of white wine in the fridge and a personal welcome letter from Manuel as well as several mails throughout our stay to ensure that we were fine, made us feel very welcome and special. And the housekeeping couple was so helpful too. Thank you Manual ! The apartment was very clean and it felt like being in a boutique hotel with slippers, small soaps etc. The apartment is perfect for a couple on a special trip to Paris. Being a design interested person myself, it was a fantastic and stimulating experience to be surrounded by great design, minimalistic aesthetics, (super taste) and small personal details. The building is very secure and yet situated in the heart of one of Paris' interesting quarters, a few hundred meters from everything you need. Manuel had left a restaurant guide for us and we tried many of them to our great applause ! If we get the opportunity, this is definitely a place we would like to return to !
