Mathieu’s apartment was great for a weeklong stay, located within walking distance from all of central Paris (even the west, if you fancy a stroll along the Seine) and close to lots of cafés and nightlife without being at all noisy. His check-in notes and general tips for the stay were brilliantly prepared and made life easy. The bathroom and toilet are a bit of a squeeze but even for a tall person like me it was no bother—the bedroom and living room are more than spacious enough for one person, so it felt less claustrophobic than some Parisian apartments. Although I didn’t meet Mathieu he was extremely personable and easy to speak to over messages!
