Nathalie's apartment is absolutely wonderful. It is very large, with two big rooms in addition to the bedrooms. It is comfortably decorated - very much a home rather than a rental. It is off the street in a courtyard and so, even though it is in the middle of Paris, it is really quiet (which, as a light sleeper, I really appreciated). It is just below Sacre Coeur, and a few minutes from the Metro, with lots of shops - a boulangerie up the street, cheese store, etc. It is at the edge of a neighborhood that has a lot of immigrants, which I liked. You see Paris as it is today. Walk one way and you are in the fairly well-to-do neighborhood of Montmartre, which is beautiful with a mix of touristy areas and areas that are not so touristed, with wonderful shops and french restaurants. Walk the other direction and you see the hustle and bustle of immigrant communities. When you get tired of french bistros, you can pick food from Algeria, Senegal, Cameron, Georgia, Mexico, and dozens of other places. Nathalie was a great host. We had everything we needed. She stayed in touch with me to make sure everything was going well, and helped us feel welcome. It is really a terrific apartment and helped make for a wonderful stay in Paris.
