Ombeline's place rocks! It is located very close to two metro stations so if you get a Visite pass, for the metro, the city is very easy to access. The apartment is in the 11th arrondissement which is very much a hip part of town meaning it is not touristy at all. My wife and I had trouble communicating with the people around the area. Most were unwilling to speak english and told us we needed to speak french or they would not help us. With that said we felt very out of place until we reached the touristy parts of town in which people were much more willing to speak english and be helpful. If you stay here brush up on french so you dont run into the same issue as us. As far as the apartment goes it has everything you need! If you have trouble with steep staircases I would stay away however. The bed is in a loft which is great but the stairs up are narrow and steep. It also gets a little hot in the summer. Overall it was a great bnb! Ombeline was extremely helpful and very kind even though we didn't get the chance to meet. We would happily stay at her place again!
