What a lovely stay! India's place is a tiny Paris apartment at the top of a narrow staircase one floor up from the street. India is a wonderful host - a native English speaker, very helpful with French language and culture tips, and overall a delightfully lovely human.
The apartment is tiny, packed with art and delightful oddities, with big windows that open to the street below. The room is the biggest in the apartment, very spacious, feels like a real oasis in but removed from the city. The shower is as described - plenty of privacy for me but others may not feel as comfortable. The toilet is in a tiny and curated water closet next to India's bedroom; that's the other place where some might need more privacy. Noise - not only is the apartment tiny but the apartment building is old and in a hopping neighborhood in the city. If you are not used to hearing neighbors in close proximity and noises from the street, a pair of earplugs would serve you well (and there were some provided!)
The location is THE BEST. My goal in Paris was to eat good food and walk a lot. I barely had to hop on the Metro (about a block away) as I could walk everywhere directly from the apartment. Some amazing bakeries and restaurants and parks in the immediate neighborhood were lovely. And all the jewelry shops around the apartment were wholesalers only so I couldn't even be tempted there.
If I were looking for seclusion I wouldn't stay here. But the next time I wanted to stay in a bustling and fantastic location with lovely people I would absolutely stay with India again.
