Gary was a very welcoming host and did everything in his power to make the most of our stay in Paris. We did not get a chance to meet him personally but he was very quick to reply to any question or concern. Gary had left a list of the recommendations in a binder that he had been collecting over the years, as well as tailored recommendations for questions we had. The location of his apartment is very convenient for getting down to the river as well as being close to convenience stores and a really nice bakery around the corner. The apartment was very clean with a queen sized mattress and a pull out couch. It is located on a nice quiet neighborhood which makes it easy to sleep.
