Overall we were very pleased with this apartment. It was walking distance for my conference at the Bibliotheque Nationale. It was only a block to the nearest metro station, which meant that we were able to easily explore the city when the conference was not in session. It's not in the center of the most tourist-oriented area of the city, but everything was so easily accessible that it didn't matter!

We did not meet Daniele in person, but she was very good about communicating with us before our trip. Her friend that greeted us when we arrived was very helpful in showing the apartment and giving us some suggestions about the city. In addition, Daniele had stocked the apartment with maps and guidebooks; she also wrote her own mini-guide with suggestions about the apartment, the neighborhood, and the city. Plus, there were fresh croissants waiting for us in the kitchen.

There are a couple of groceries in the neighborhood, which made food shopping easy, but there's also a farmers market on Saturdays (quite large) and Wednesdays (more modest) with all kinds of produce, baked goods, and other items.

We noticed that some reviews mentioned the size of the bed. Initially it seemed small since we are accustomed to a king at home, but we got used to the full/double in the apartment. Given the location, views, and amenities -- all at a very reasonable price -- the size of the bed seemed inconsequential to us.

We would stay here again if we visit Paris in the future.
