I had a wonderful stay at Faina's home. The location is about a 10 min walk from metro, and there is a supermarket, bakery, grocer within a 5 min walk. Her lovely friend was there to meet me with the keys and show me around. I thought it was really great that Faina had prepared a sheet of instructions and a whole book of Paris information for guests. New bed is comfy, and there's a little elevator so I didn't have to drag my luggage up stairs. Definitely recommended.
