Francoise is an incredibly lovely and responsive host. She checked in with us before and during our stay, and she responded very quickly to any inquiry. She provided several suggestions for enjoying the area and even made a few dinner reservations for us.
We really enjoyed the location!!...just a block from the Bastille monument. The farmers market there is outstanding. And we walked to so many sites...Notre Dame, the Seine River, Picasso Museum, and really enjoyed the surrounding neighborhoods (Latin Quarter, Marais, Bastille).
The apartment is lovely overall with a nice, large living area. We found the bed to be very comfortable. Air conditioning was very important to us since it was summertime (early July) during our visit. There is a pretty good unit in the living room, but the bedroom and bathrooms were very warm. I recommend providing some fans at a minimum. The shower/tub is very narrow and the shower head needs to be turned toward the wall or will spray all over the bathroom. Showering was very awkward, especially for my 6'1" husband. The toilet and a tiny sink are in a separate, narrow bathroom near the front door, far away from the bedroom and bathroom with tub/double sinks.
