Lovely place and a great host. Lively and convenient part of town to explore or venture into the rest of Paris, but on a quiet street in a secure building. I stayed with my sister so having the pullout couch was very helpful. It was also very toasty in there, very nice as it was so cold out during out trip. Even though its a small apartment, its typical of Paris, and the layout made it feel more spacious. It also has a very nice shower and the kitchen area is good for cooking. I felt very comfortable there, and my sister (1st time in Paris) was very happy with the place. Nathalie also made everything very easy and comfortable with her communication and explanation of the space and building. she has great taste! all the artwork etc was familiar to me and I appreciated it. She lives here so treat the place as you would your own (respectfully) and you will also have a great time! would definitely recommend .
