This is a terrific place...not fancy, but warm and very accommodating, and super well-equipped (excellent kitchen outfit). And the location is terrific - right by two important bus lines (76 to Right Bank and 86 to Left Bank), a great Metro station and line (station is LeDru-Rollin, line No.8 -Balard/Creteil), and two blocks to Bastille, where the No.1 Metro line passes. Vanessa is a lovely host, was there to meet us when we arrived, helped us with luggage, and speaks perfect English (we speak French, but she deferred to my English). She has a great book of tips for the neighborhood, and personal suggestions as well. She responded immediately to a text with a small question. And she was there when we left, again helping with luggage. On an AirBnB scale of 1 to 10, this one was at least an 11!
