Anne is a great host who was easy to communicate with and was more than happy to answer any questions I had. Anne's housekeeper welcomed me on arrival and assisted me with my checkout (as Anne was away) and was as equally helpful and pleasant to deal with.

Anne's apartment is lovely space which is clean, tidy and comfortable. The living area and bedroom are light and airy, and I quickly felt at home during my time there. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped and I had no issues with accessing the wifi. I most enjoyed being able to sit out on the balcony (which is filled with nice plants!) and look out over the rooftops while eating a meal or just simply soaking up the atmosphere.

The apartment is located up a few flights of stairs, which when I first arrived felt like they were never ending - however, after a day or so they became far less challenging and I found I was reaching the front door before I even realised I was at the top! As well as this - you really do appreciate the little work out after eating so many delicious pastries and sweets, which can be found at a variety of great places within a 5 - 10 minute walk.

I was more than impressed with the location of the apartment and found it to be the perfect base for exploring the city. The neighbourhood felt very safe and the street it is on is lively and friendly. The close proximity to 3 metro lines made it very simple to get about (it's also in suitable walking distance to many places).

The apartment block itself is secure and clean, it was also very quite and felt rather safe. I passed a few friendly people on the stairs our out in the entry to the street.

I experienced both rainy/cool and fine/hot weather during my stay, and found that I was able to be comfortable inside the apartment during both temperatures. In the warmer weather I did need to leave the windows open, however there was enough of breeze/airflow for it not to bother me too much.

Anne provided a guide for the area, including a list of recommend places to eat - I checked out a few of them and found them all to be great! It was nice to experience something that felt authentic and "local".

If I ever find myself in Paris again, this will definitely be the first place I check to see if available.
