Staying at Damien's place was really pleasant. Apartment itself was really cozy and it felt like real home. Exactly what you would expect from a French apartment. Some things to consider though: you have to take six flights of stairs to get to the apartment and it isn't short stories, so be prepared. One more thing that should be taken into account that it seems that it's otherwise used as a living space so lot of host's stuff were around the apartment. It didn't bother us, rather then came by surprise but it's in no way an empty apartment. Metro stations and grocery stores are really close by which was very convenient. Communication was excellent and pleasant.
