We arrived a little later than we had told our host that we would arrive, and being somewhat new to Paris had a little trouble finding the apartment. Her directions were great, we were just new at it. As we looked around on the street, Nihaya found us and asked us if we were the ones staying at her apartment. After introductions, and apologies (on our part), Nihaya was very gracious and showed us the place. There are 3 separate doors each with it's own security that are needed to get to the apartment so it is very secure (one with a code, and two with keys). The apartment has about everything you might need for a few days or more in Paris (coffee, tea, cutlery, dishes, a stove, dishwasher, a small refrigerator) The beds were quite comfortable. I even liked the pillows (and I'm rather picky on those). The only nitpick I have is that that wifi didn't really work. However, I'm confident Nihaya would have worked to fix it if we had let her know. We spent so little downtime, that we just didn't think it was worth it.

We didn't have any issues with noise, and the place was really clean when we arrived. If we go to Paris again, we will see if we can stay here again.
