Fabienne was an easy-going host who let us arrive and depart at convenient times for us, and we appreciate her hospitality.

The apartment is located near the end of a Metro line, which makes for long subway trips for most sightseeing, but since the Metro is so efficient, it was not too inconvenient--and the Metro stop is almost right outside the door. The neighborhood is noisy and the third floor (where the apartment is located) smelled strongly of cigarettes, but if you don't mind these things, it is a pretty good bargain.
