Benoit was very helpful and welcoming. He even helped us bring up a suitcase. the apt was perfect for us. we loved the exposed beams and skylights made the space bright even in the rain. it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. I actually liked the stairs. sorry we could not stay longer as I love Paris so much. the location was perfect and we loved the tips on where to eat and the local shops. the little kitchen was perfect. suggest leaving another tea towel. we recommend this walk up apt. benoit even found us a driver to take us to Charles de Gaulle. fantastic.
