For either a short or long term stay in Paris, this is a wonderful place to make your home. It is exactly as described and pictured. Because this is Heidi's home, and not a near empty apartment, you'll find everything you need to make your stay pleasant one. The apartment is efficiently organized and well-planned. The apartment is also bright and quiet, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom and kitchen are fully equipped. This also in an interesting neighborhood, which is a focus for a complex immigrant community, which becomes a source of many great markets and restaurants. I note from other reviewers that this neighborhood may be of a concern, but I stayed here for a month and often came home late, but I never felt worried for my safety. Heidi is very responsive and pleasant to deal with. Yes, you have to make a climb to get home, but you will arrive in a peaceful oasis.
