We never met Danielle but were greeted by the maid. This was okay but as a warning, the maid does not speak English very well. It may help to bring a guidebook or a note pre-translated! Though we didn't see her, she was responsive by email and we did talk to her on the phone when we arrived.

The apartment was in a lovely area, 10 minutes or so from the Lourve, perfect! Skip the bakery next door, we thought it was only okay, and hit up the many bakeries and patisseries around the corner on Rue Montorgueirl. The room was perfect for two with a window out onto Rue Tiquetonne. Beautiful floors and the bed is larger than it appears in the photographs. We didn't spend much time in the apartment, and it was great for our needs. WiFi worked, she had a corkscrew for our evening wine and even a fan for those stuffy summer nights.

Some quirks: there is a step down into the bathroom which we kept forgetting about and the entrance is in the middle of a restaurant Casa Picaflor, so we had difficulty finding it. We also had trouble with the TV, but we didn't really need to use it much.
