We didn't get to meet Reem, but her e-mail correspondence was responsible and pleasant. The place is unique -- fun, stylish decor.

I'm a tall guy so was disappointed to find only a bath tub (no standing shower). We didn't have instructions for any method of heating and only found one space heater which we kept close to us on the cold leather couch (the window was left open before we arrived and the place kept a winter chill we didn't really get rid of).

That said, it's a great location. Very nice italian place down the street, conveniently near Chatlet, the Pompidou and the Louvre.
