Mathilde is a fantastic host--welcoming, communicative and accommodating. I arrived in record-breaking heat and she was nice enough to obtain a fan which made sleeping much more comfortable. Her building is in a lovely and very quiet passage. Though small the apartment has everything you need. Being on the ground floor privacy is a bit of an issue--you must keep the curtains closed to shield from passersby-- but as long as you don't mind that (and it's not terribly hot) all is well.
