Jodi was a wonderful host! The apartment was exactly as described in the pictures...but even better in person! Directly across the street from a beautiful little park with a fountain. I would lie with the windows open, looking out at the trees and the sky while listening to the sounds of the fountain and children happily playing in the park. At night it was very peaceful and quiet. Hardly any street noise at all. The location is incredibly convenient and walking distance to everything in central Paris. It's also directly above the best Japanese restaurant I have even been to, Sushi B!! If you can get a reservation...go!!! The bed is incredibly comfortable and the shower is a lovely treat with a rainfall shower head. I had no problems at all. I would highly recommend this little piece of Parisian paradise!!! I wouldn't stay anywhere else:)
