Emmanuelle is a perfect host. She responded to all my queries promptly and effectively. She even provided a short video to help explain the key collection system. She also offered some excellent recommendations for local restaurants (Tadam bistro at the end of the street is extremely good, but make sure you make a reservation because it's very small and very popular). The apartment is well-located, close to both the 5 and 7 metro lines, and a short walk to the Latin Quarter. Despite this location, it's an area relatively free of tourists. There are grocery stores and bakeries on the nearby boulevard Saint Marcel. The apartment is small. The bedroom and sitting room are not small by Parisian standards, but the bathroom and kitchen are tiny. It was a little disconcerting that the bathroom doesn't have a wash basin; and you therefore have to use the sink in the kitchen to wash your hands. However, the two other rooms are bright and cheery (even in early January), and well-heated.
