Janine was an extraordinary host. Her replies to emails were virtually immediate (including one time when she was literally in her bed at 1:00 am). We are a family of five in Paris for only a few days, and we could not have enjoyed the appartment more. From the moment we arrived (greeted by her lovely friend Norma), our stay was absolutely perfect. The place is absolutely charming -- much roomier than we expected. Honestly the pictures did not do it justice -- the apartment is simply lovely. The surrounding neighborhood is equally charming, with easy access to everything. Two metro stops are within a block or so, but we quickly found ourselves walking everywhere. While we are not frequent travelers, we cannot wait to go back and would definitely stay at Janine's again. I would recommend her place, her neighborhood, and her hospitality to anyone. I know I might sound a bit effusive, but it was an absolutely extraordinary stay.
