First, the location truly is perfect - I used the metro sparingly as most everything is walking distance. Traveling alone, I had everything I needed and more - Geraldine’s place was quiet, secure and extremely comfortable. As others mentioned, the apartment is huge by Paris standards, filled with color and creativity - you don’t really notice the minor quirks after a few days, it’s all part of the Paris experience. Don’t hesitate, you will not be disappointed - I stayed here for over a week and will miss this place and the neighborhood. Geraldine is a fast responder and very connected to the city - a wealth of information that is a complete bonus.
