Xavier's place is excellent! The location was fantastic, with easy access to the Metro and a short walk to the Eiffel Tower! The view of the Eiffel tower and the Paris skyline from the balcony makes this place, perfect. Grocery stores, restaurants, and bakeries are all nearby as well if you don't want to leave the area. As far as the apartment, the 2 beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for 3 of us. The fact that there is no shower curtain in the bathroom takes some getting used to but it's not a big deal considering the size of his apartment and the location. Also, before we arrived Xavier provided great recommendations of local things to do and restaurants and responded quickly to any questions. Great host, and a great place; I would happily stay here again if we return to Paris and highly recommend it to anyone else.
