The check in was really flexible - I didn't know until four hours beforehand when I would arrive and this didn't present a problem. I never met Maxime but he kept in contact to ensure that all was OK, which it was. The concierge was also on hand a lot of the time and was very helpful. The apartment was exactly as in the photos and very clean. There was plenty of space to unpack and hang clothes. Excellent selection of TV channels. It is in a very quiet location, yet only a few minutes walk from the very central Place de la Riponne with its art gallery and market and access to the metro and buses. I think that many of the other occupants of the block were away on holiday but those that were there were very quiet. I was visiting family nearby so didn't cook in the apartment. It was perfect for me!
