Nathalie’s apartment is very comfortable with lots of light and well located for transportation connections and access to the tourist sites. It is in a great neighborhood- boulangerie, francoprix, restaurants and major shopping a few blocks away. Place de Nation was being renovated when I was there but should be wonderful in a month or so.
Bed is very comfortable: firm but not too firm. The kitchen is new ly renovated and well stocked although I did not cook. The apartment is on a major, but not noisy, blvd but the windows block out any noise.
There is a washer in the apartment but, like all Paris apts, no dryer. If, like me, you don’t like to hang your clothes in the apartment to dry, there is a laundry just down the street and for one euro and 10 minute drying cycle you are all set.
Nathalie is a great host. One evening early on, I forgot to take the "badge" needed to enter the building. Even though she was out of the country at the time, Nathalie went out of her way to contact various neighbors until she found one able to buzz me into the building. She also offered to have the apartment cleaned at her expense about halfway through my three week stay. She also texted a number of times to see how I was doing and if I needed anything.
Would definitely stay there again. Good value.
