Xavier was an excellent host! He was very welcoming, and I sincerely appreciated his flexibility on check-in/check-out given our weird travel schedules. The home itself is lovely - huge, comfortably furnished, with great natural light and lots of windows. (NB: The shades in the bedroom were awesome - you can choose between none, translucent (for privacy with light) or blackout!) My colleague and I stayed here for a meeting nearby, and we loved the proximity to the Bois du Bologne, as well as several restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of utensils, cups, mugs, pots, pans, and basics (salt/pepper, oil, coffee machine, etc.) The apartment is at the very top of the building, so no problems with noise from upstairs neighbors!
For those wondering about the layout, the entry hall leads to a living room with a couch, tv, and a piano. The large kitchen is adjacent, and a stairway leads up to the bedrooms. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a vanity with sinks, and a shower. A common toilet is located off a small hallway connecting the 3 bedrooms, and guests staying in the master or the loft then need to travel through the third bedroom to access the second shower or the stairway to the kitchen.
I'd stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Karen and Xavier as excellent hosts. Thank you!
