We had a wonderful stay in Mathildes apartment. The place was spotless although not as minimalist as the photos would suggest since there was a lot of personal stuff in the place. This didn't bother us at all though and was in fact interesting to "get to know" the host. The location is fantastic as it's the right distance away from tourist mania yet you can still walk everywhere. The 64 bus stops outside the building and is a great cross city route to take in all the tourist stops. We had a stroller and used lots of busses - the 65 bus also goes direct to Gare du Nord which is where the RER takes you to the airport. We would have no problem hesitating Mathildes apartment to anyone. It was fantastic.
