Staying with Christophe provided a hotel room experience in a real apartment. Clean, but homey. By the end, I felt like I was staying with an old friend. I appreciated his clear, concise communication style and respect of privacy. He also goes to gym regularly, which was good motivation. :) Definitely recommend his place for the solo, chill traveler who likes a comfortable and quiet place to return to after a day exploring Paris. Also, he lives on one of the coolest blocks in the neighborhood!
