Josephine's apartment in the 6th arr. was even better than we anticipated! The apartment is located on a quiet street and it's windows give out onto two separate and modest but quiet courtyards so there is no street noise at all. Although it is located at street level, the apartment has plenty of natural light. It is newly renovated and everything was immaculately clean and in top condition. We enjoyed the amenities offered such as the washing machine and fully equipped kitchen. It was great to have a full-sized bath tub to relax in after a full day of exploring Paris on foot. There was plenty of hot water. Josephine met us on our arrival and was so gracious and helpful. She is a delightful person who genuinely enjoys meeting her guests and making their stay in Paris more enjoyable. We recommend this lovely little apartment and would be most happy to return to it on our next trip to Paris.
