We never met Matt. His emails and instructions were explicit and left no questions unanswered. We visit France (including Paris) quite often from the US, and we always stay on the Rive Gauche (left bank). Matt's apartment's best feature is location, location, location.

This AirBNB member does have it down pat. Matt describes himself and his companion as having at least 3 (perhaps 4) locations in varying geographic areas. This apartment is completely set up to accomadate tenant/guests, from the electronic lock (with changeable codes when one guest leaves and another arrives) to a key box with a code to obtain the inner front door key. All is well thought out and well executed. If no one left the day before your arrival (necessitating cleanup the day you arrive) Matt has no objection to an early arrival (we arrived and took possession at 10:30 AM on Christmas Day). This apartment will not substitute for your home, but it more than serves its purpose (we stayed for six nights) and is close to metros, buses (if you take the time, well worth it, to learn the Paris bus system) and the main restaurants and attractions of the Left Bank. All in all a smooth and worthwhile experience.
