magali is a lovely host, and her studio apartment is perfect for one person. the pictures are accurate: it is small — she confirmed that with me before booking. yes, the bathroom is tiny, but worth it for the price, and i’m sure that’s common in paris anyway. remember that the first floor is upstairs (considered the second floor for americans). i felt safe staying there — there’s a gate with a passcode to get into the courtyard/apartment complex, and the apartment door is able to be locked from the inside. magali made my first airbnb experience very enjoyable and super easy, there were no problems during my stay at all. there are about 5 friendly cats that live in the courtyard outside the apartment, and i loved seeing them everyday!
