Christophe was a perfect host. He was welcoming, without being over bearing. I highly recommend going on a brief tour of the neighbourhood with him on your arrival if possible. His tips on best grocer, butcher, bakery and fish shops, and his restaurant recommendations did not fail to meet expectations. I was a bit nervous about the neighbourhood, but it was just amazing. There was a really lively neighbourhood atmosphere and I felt safe even when returning alone late at night. The location is ideal for visiting paris - you are walking distance from most central locations, as well as being on line 4 which is the line which runs north-South through the centre of paris. As for the apartment, it combines the best of a luxury hotel with all the comforts of home - plus a view of the Eiffel tower. Christophe responded quickly to any emails/queries. I wouldn't hesitate to return.
