This apartment has the charm of an old building (high ceilings, large windows), though it is a little darker inside than the photos appear. The view looks out into a courtyard rather than the street. The location is great: it is fairly close to the center (Notre-Dame, Louvre), and you can walk to these if you like to walk (we do!). But the Metro station is also very close and you can get anywhere easily. The local neighborhood in the 11e is also vibrant: there are many excellent restaurants, boulangeries, patisseries and a large supermarché nearby.
Marion was a very responsive host. Though I failed to tell her we would need the pull out couch for part of our stay, she generously came over the next day to bring bed linens.
