Carine was a very pleasant host and very easy to communicate with. The neighborhood had very few other tourists and had a more authentic feel than the areas directly near the attractions, but yet was convenient to get most anywhere on the metro. The listing is accurate in most aspects, and it IS Paris, but it did still feel expensive for a studio apartment. The kitchen is sufficient mainly for heating water and takeout food, as you wouldn't be able to cook a meal in it. There's only a hotplate and a sink and small fridge. It was our kids' idea that we could all five stay in such a small space, but they agreed afterward that it wasn't the best idea, as we kept each other awake and it got pretty stuffy. It would work better with younger (or fewer!) kids perhaps. But we had a nice stay and the apartment is very much as described.
