Xavier's apartment was perfect for my 3-day weekend in Paris. The view is fantastic! You can see all of Paris' landmarks (except for Sacre Coeur). Being able to enjoy long gazes upon Paris from the terrace both night and day was delightful and peaceful. The apartment is very light -- windows along the wall. The neighborhood is convenient and quiet, plenty of restaurants to choose from, a boulanger around the corner, as well as a supermarket. The bus takes you right into the middle of Paris. The subway is just a block way. Easy to get around town. Xavier accommodated my early check in. He showed me everything in the studio apartment (it has all the basics) and let me know what was available in the neighborhood.
