Reem's apartment is very cool. I didn't get to meet her, and perhaps next time, I will. I arrived at around noon, the street was quiet, yet close to a lot of restaurants and really close to Les Halles metro. Reem had a lot of very helpful and good suggestions on restaurants and places to go, and I made maximum use of them.

Reem's INTERNET connection was fine, so I could do my work and not have to struggle for it. Additionally, her bed is firm, so I had a hard time getting up in the morning as I felt like sleeping and just plain sitting around. She's also got these way cool blinds, you can spend an entire hour just playing with them.

The apartment is at the top of the building, so that's one thing you should keep in mind - if you get out of breath quickly, then you'd better start working out.

Overall, I'm going to try to stay at her place the next time I go to Paris, if one of y'all haven't already asked her first.

Ciao.
