Great place to stay! All those 5 star ratings are accurate. It's been a long time since I've stayed in a bnb with the host in the same apartment, but Marie Ange was a superb host who was informative and fun. She has a busy life, so we only saw her occasionally, but our meetings were some of the most memorable of our trip. Her bedroom is on the opposite side of the apartment, so as guests, we had a lot of privacy. She brought us our favorite pastries from a fabulous bakery each morning. The bedroom is ample sized, has great storage, a comfortable bed, black-out curtains and for those chilly Paris nights, there's an adjustable radiator for your own comfort level. The location is on a safe pedestrian street, close to major attractions, express grocery stores and several metro/bus stops. The building itself is very nice and has several layers of security to enter. There is an elevator which fit two of us and our luggage. The apartment is on the top floor, so no noise above. There is some background noise at night from the restaurants on the ground level, but it was a low pitched white noise (we enjoyed it because it lulled us to sleep). The bathroom is across the hall from the bedroom and has a stand up shower with good water pressure and ample hot water. The rest of the apartment is clean and nicely decorated in a traditional French yet contemporary style. We didn't eat on the terrace (December), but the views were fantastic. We'd walk out at night to see the lights of Notre Dame. I'd highly recommend staying here and if it's available, we're definitely coming back! Thank you Marie Ange (and please come visit us when you're in our area).
