The communication and responses back were great! She even messaged us to make sure everything was going ok. The place was perfect for what we needed it for. Yes you have to use the bathroom f2ffown the hall but that didn't bother us at all. We intended to cook but when we got to Paris we were overwhelmed by all the amazing places to eat so we ate out a lot, but her place has a kitchen with everything you need. It's in a great location, just a few minute walk to the metro and a few minute walk to the river!! I will say one thing if you are ariving late the building is very dark. We had a little trouble navigating at night, so make sure you ask her where the lights are in the courtyard. We didnt see them until the next morning. We had our phone to use as a flashlight so we dont feel like it was that big of an issue. We would definitely recomend staying here and if we came back we would stay here again. Thank you so much!!!
