Guillaume was away when we were there so we had the entire apartment to ourselves. Added value for some perhaps but we were actually looking forward to having Guillaume as our host to recommend local restaurants and sights! Either way, we had a great time and his apartment was perfect in terms of location and amenities. We particularly loved the large balcony and really felt it enhanced our parisien experience. Lots of good bakeries and patiserries nearby and was easy walking distance to attractions and metro. Would recommend!
