Emmanuelle was the perfect host and the Petite Chambre Rouge was a lovely, cosy, warm and secure place to stay in a really nice part of Paris. Emmanuelle went out of her way to make me feel welcome, and couldn't have done anything more. The room was exactly as described, compact and perfectly set-up for a self-contained stay, with everything you could possible need. The area was perfect, and I felt safe travelling to and from the metro or walking in the streets. The metro is not far (maybe 5 minutes walk), and there is a supermarket on the next corner. Plenty of restaurants and banks in the area, and as a single female traveller I really felt secure being out and about. Wifi worked perfectly, with no problems. Emmanuelle warned me about the stairs before my booking was confirmed, but they presented no real problem to me. Emmanuelle very kindly allowed use of her apartment and lift as a thoroughfare for arriving and leaving (and also offered the use of the thoroughfare during my stay, which I thought exceptionally generous). I really enjoyed my stay, and especially enjoyed talking to Emmanuelle and her friends and family. I recommend highly, and hope I can one day go back.
