Brigitte was a great host. She met us at the apartment, showed us around the place, and gave us suggestions of where to go in the neighborhood to eat, get groceries, etc. the neighborhood was a bit noisy on the weekdays due to construction in the area and recess time at the adjacent primary school, but it was quite calm on the weekend. The bed is a foldout but very comfortable, and the room gets reasonably dark with the curtains drawn. The washer was a definite plus and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The neighborhood was great, plenty of decent restaurants as well as plenty of boulangeries and supermarkets minutes away. The proximity to the metro was also a plus and made it quite simple to get around the city by metro alone. All in all we had a fantastic stay in Paris, thanks in no small part to Brigitte's cozy little apartment. Recommended for a stay in Paris that gives you the experience of living in a real Parisian arrondissement while also being minutes away from the chaotic tourist traps.
