We stayed at Nina's place during our very first trip to Paris this summer. She was a fantastic host: helping with directions, recommendations, dinner reservations, and even our laundry. She is a well-traveled, interesting woman who we really enjoyed getting to know. The room was exactly as pictured and very comfortable. We were there during a heat wave and especially appreciated the fan in our room. The building has locked iron gates, making it feel very safe and secure, as well as a beautiful little courtyard. It is located near enough to tourist activities, very close to the Metro, but just far enough away that you feel you are in a "real" neighborhood of locals. We very highly recommend Nina's place and hope to make it back someday.
