I never got a chance to meet Hélène, but her daughter, Karine, who lives down the street met us. She was extremely nice! She met us on time and checked us out on time as well. She gave us tips on where to eat and go dancing and her tips were great. The neighborhood is fantastic. Beside a lot of markets and restaurants. A great place! 5 mins from the métro. There's no AC in the unit. Normally this would be fine, but right now Paris is experiencing an abnormal heatwave. But Karine was nice enough to buy us a powerful fan. The place was clean and ready for us :)
