My companion and I are both new to Paris and it took us a while to figure out the exact door of the apartment. But we were fortunate that a woman was kind enough to walk us to Rachel's apartment. That alone, made an unforgettable experience in Paris but in a good way! Experiencing French hospitality right on our first day and we knew we're off to a good start.
With us arriving earlier than the agreed time, Rachel still accommodated us and let us settled in the room. The room was tidy with clean sheets and towels available. There was a small kitchen, complete with almost everything and it's ideal for a long term stay in Paris. The wifi was also really fast but we got disconnected in the morning on our second day. However, it wasn't a major issue since we were checking out anyway. The apartment is a short walk to Raspail metro and also near to cafes, restaurants, and many creperies!
It was definitely a great experience to stay even for a night in a real Parisian dwelling!
