Pauline's place was perfect for me, as a solo female traveler. I felt immediately at home from the moment I walked into her apartment. Pauline is warm, open and attentive - she would give you a space for privacy when you need it and is open for a friendly chat if you are up for it.
The room (with private bath & toilet!) is clean and super comfortable. Everything is as described and more. As a Japanese, the clean and comfortable bathtub was a big plus after long walks in the city.
Pauline smokes and she has a very sweet cat - both of which I am not accustom to but she made sure it never bothered me, and it honestly didn't.
With a short ride of either Metro or bus, you'll be anywhere in the city. I was happy to be in this neighborhood, rather than staying in the heart of the city, because after seen thousands of tourists (literally) you want to be at somewhere more down-to-earth.
