Norbert and his home were simply enchanting. Everything is as lovely as shown in the photographs and Norbert himself is an ideal host. The space was clean, stocked with every possible appliance and amenity one could want and it offered beautiful views of Paris. The apartment is close to several métro lines and numerous cafés, bookstores and parks. Magically, it's also very quiet and peaceful and there was never much noise from the street. Norbert went above and beyond to make me and my friend feel comfortable - he was extremely generous, buying us some great cheeses, a bottle of wine and little jars of confiture (the latter at his companion's suggestion, he said). His home is filled with books - great books, from Romain Gary to Jacques Derrida to an impressive number of volumes written by my host himself... All in all, a wonderful, charming stay. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
