We had a wonderful time staying in Cedric's apartment! It was in a great location (not on a main street but very close to Rue Etienne Marcel) and close to 2 metro stops. Cedric was a great host and was able to accommodate us even though we needed to book only a week in advance due to a problem with our previous booking at another apartment. Although we didn't get to meet him, he arranged for us to meet his housekeeper to give us the keys. We don't speak much French, but we were still able to communicate with her and decide on a time to drop off the keys.

The apartment was immaculate and Cedric left a few basics (juice and water) in the fridge for us. The bathroom was very spacious and clean. We also appreciated the king size bed (2 twin mattresses pushed together) and had restful sleep each night. We always felt safe in the building and the neighborhood and never had any issues. The neighborhood itself wasn't very touristy and you could tell that it was home to Paris natives. There were great restaurants in the area and we especially loved O'Scia - an Italian restaurant with great Neopolitan-style pizza. It was also in a great location to walk to the Louvre (which we did on our first night) and even to Notre Dame if you're up for a good walk.

Thank you, Cedric, for a great experience in Paris!
