We stayed in Patrick's wonderful apartment May 21-24.
He did not meet us personally but was in contact regularly via email/this site. He was so helpful in giving us the directions to find the apartment as well as what train to take to Charles de Gaulle when we were leaving. It is about a 10 minute walk with luggage from the Metro station. He arranged for his neighbor Johanna to meet us with the key and she in turn gave us all the info we needed about the apartment.
The apartment had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay in Paris and we thought the price was very reasonable. It was also bigger than we expected. WiFi was also very reliable.
Although we only had our breakfasts and an evening drink at the apartment, it is well equipped to store food and prepare all meals if on a budget.
The neighborhood is awesome and really let us experience the "real France" with the lovely markets and cafés.
If ever we return to Paris we would hope to be able to stay there again and will certainly give our friends the link!
