I would strongly recommend Charles' studio apartment to my family and friends! Here's why:
LOCATION: A metro station is right at your doorstep, making it simple to zip around Paris and get to/from the airport. It's walking distance to Notre Dam and Isle de St. Lois (go to get Berthillion ice cream at #31- best we've ever had), bars, restaurants (including the best falafel at L'as Du Falafel), fantastic shopping, etc. There is a great market out front on Thursdays/Sundays where we picked up some roast chicken, bread, cheese, fruit, and crepes for a picnic.
APARTMENT: Exactly as pictured. Extremely efficient and functioning space with no odor, strong wifi, great hot shower, AC, stocked kitchen-- everything you need for a perfect stay. My boyfriend is 6'2" and we were very comfortable on the pullout bed. Great view from balconies. We loved the decor and special touches. Very quiet with no street noise.
CHARLES: Fantastic host! Communicative, warm, friendly, and genuinely cares about you having a perfect time in Paris. We met him at check in, and he walked us through the entire apartment (complete with welcome cookies and chocolate) and gave a few tips on the surrounding area. When I needed to replace a lost credit card, he let me use his personal address. Charles was always available, and he conveniently lives one flight below the apartment.
