We felt like true Parisians while staying at Maria's apartment. If we could give it six stars, we would. The other reviews are spot on and it's obvious the writers enjoyed their stay as much as we did. The location in the 6th was perfect - extremely walk-able, safe, and picturesque. Maria asked if we would mind the cleaning woman coming mid week. Such hotel service! As noted in other reviews, both beds are on the second level; one requiring a ladder and the other a set of steps to access it. Having two bathrooms was really great for us two women and an unusual find in such a small apartment. Also, the apartment was facing the courtyard and not the street which was ideal as far as keeping windows open overnight. I have NO reservations in recommending Maria's apartment - especially if you want to live like a true Parisian.
