François was an excellent host. He was very quick to respond to messages, answered all my questions and was on time to meet me at the apartment when I arrived in Paris. The apartment was spotlessly clean. Overall, it's a very comfortable place, and one I'd recommend to friends.

One of the best things about this flat is its location. This is a great spot if you want to eat and drink at trendy restaurants and bars, go to concerts, and shop at independent boutiques. I enjoyed the easy access to Parc Monceau as well (20 minutes away by foot--great spot for a jog). It's also go fairly good access to a lot of different Metro lines so its quick and easy to get to the main tourist destinations, and has easy access to several different train stations (St. Lazare is within walking distance, Gare de l'Est, Gare du Nord and Gare de Lyon are short metro rides away).

The only hiccup in my stay was a problem with the internet. Due to no fault of François's, the connection went down in the middle of my stay. François was very responsive to the situation, and a technician came to fix it. Before and after the problem, however, the connection is very fast.
