It was an absolutely fantastic experience staying at Yves's apartment. Yves sent me detailed instructions on how to reach the apartment, and was available in person to guide us through the checkin. He is an extremely genial and friendly person, and we felt at home right away.

About the area: Rue Saint-Antoine is right next to Bastille, and centrally located and extremely convenient. The metro station was less than 50 meters from the apartment, and connects to all major tourist attractions. The street itself has multiple eateries, supermarkets, bakeries, and other convenience stores. We were able to use the metro to travel to all attractions, including Palace of Versailles. At the same time, the apartment is not directly exposed to the street and has zero noise issues.

About the apartment: The apartment is fully furnished, and has all necessities and more for a longer stay. The living room has a sofa, a small TV, wireless internet, small dining table with 4 foldable chairs and several tourist guides and instruction manuals. The kitchen has a cook top, dish washer, all utensils needed to cook, and several pieces of cutlery. The bathroom is very clean and large compared to Parisian standards, and has a washer and dryer apart from all other facilities. The bedroom has a queen sized bed, and a large cupboard (extra pillows and blankets available). Entire house has heating including the bathroom. Overall, we lacked for nothing in the apartment, and everything was in working order.

About the Host: The best part of the listing the is the host!! Yves is genial and friendly, and he went out of his way to stock the apartment with wine, milk, butter, bread, and bottled water before we arrived. He explained everything in detail, and for the rest he provided detailed instructions. Communication was prompt and very helpful. It was a great experience making his acquaintance.

We are coming back to this apartment anytime we are in Paris next. Thanks a lot.
