If this is your first time in Paris, Fabienne and her place is where to go.

The host:
Fabienne's communication was incredible. We had a great back and forth getting to know each other and about the rental.

Her instructions on how to get out of GDC airport and to her place was incredibly helpful. The instructions were very visual with great descriptions. I felt if it wasn't for that I would have been lost trying to understand the streets and public transportation of Paris.

She has a great guide and rule book for her place that helped me understand the neighborhood and where to go.

On a personal level she helped me out. I had a small medical issue and she went above and beyond her hosting duties. She even called the hospital to know that I would be taken care of. Fabienne is the best.

The place:
It is a cozy studio for one person or a couple. The main space is the bedroom with enough room to get up, walk around, and sit at a skinny desk if needed. Good closet and drawer space to put clothes away. The bathroom was a bit close quarters but it was modern, nice, and the shower was modern and ample.

The space is well laid out and has everything you need. The fan was a life saver as I was there during a heat wave. The studio has great ventilation which was even better than the hotel I stayed in later during my stay. The curtains are solid so not much light gets in if you want but the main window opens up to allow plenty of air and light through. There is no kitchen or kitchenette but there is a little mini-fridge which was all that was needed.

The area of St. Germain des Pres is where you want to be. Fabienne's studio is nice and quiet. In fact, the whole area is very tranquil with great shops in any direction. Truly a neighborhoody feel of central Paris.
