Gildas is an amazing host with a focus on everything he can do to enhance your stay. He constantly provided tips, directions and ideas to help us get the most out of our 3 nights in Paris. We also appreciated that he came home to meet us at his apt during his workday so that we could get set up and comfortable right away.

His apt is located up a quiet street from a bustling street filled with bistros, supermarkets and other stores. It is also less than 5 minutes from his door to the subway or 3 minutes to the bus line which makes it very easy to get around Paris no matter where you want to go.

The apt is well set up on the 4th floor with a small elevator should you prefer not to use the stairs. It’s very secure as there are multiple doors that open with a key fob although we always felt very safe and not concerned about security at all.

A great view of the Eiffel Tower can be seen clearly from his dining and living rooms and the bedroom is super quiet as it opens onto an interior courtyard. His bed is also firm and very comfortable and he provides everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Gildas was awake whenever we arrived home and always very interested to make sure that we enjoyed our day. To say that he is a caring human being is an understatement.

Added bonuses are that he provides fresh bread and pastries that he picks up every morning from a local bakery before going to work. He also had tea, coffee and fruit for us, allowed us to use his quality Bosch washing machine to do a load of laundry and also has a phone line with Free calls to the US and Canada for North Americans visiting Paris.

If you are looking for a comfortable, peaceful and affordable stay in Paris with a host who really cares about your enjoyment than Gildas is the place for you. By the time we left we had a new friend and hope that he will come and stay with us as our airbnb guest if ever he visits California.
