Cristina's place is beautiful; the perfect blend of classic Parisian architecture and charm with modern amenities in the kitchen and bath. A truly lovely space to stay- very spacious, clean and tasteful decor. The location is very accessible to all places in Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, though it is an authentic French neighborhood. I did not meet Cristina in person, though she was friendly in our communication by email. She arranged for a neighbor to let me in and show me around the apartment. The only aspect for consideration, is that the apartment is on the first floor and since the metro runs just beneath, there is audible noise and vibration all day and night, which can make it difficult to sleep. Also, with the windows open, there is often traffic noise of trucks and buses. It is something to consider when booking, which is unfortunate, because it is a truly wonderful space.
