Overall, my husband and I would definitely give Jacqueline’s apartment a high mark. The location is very good, a short walk to the Bastille metro stop with many lines and plenty of places to get food or have a drink at any number of cafes. The apartment is warm and homey, with a lot of space and quiet as well. The bed is quite comfortable and the apartment is attractive, though in places, a bit worn out. We did not have the chance to meet Jacqueline because her husband is gravely ill, but she did reach out to us several times to answer questions and recommend things to do. I am quite sure that she is an extremely gracious hostess and available when required. We like to cook meals, and the kitchen, though well laid out and with adequate space, was missing a few things, like pots with lids and a good cutting board, and kitchen storage was so full that it was often difficult to find things. Still, we did cook some nice meals (with food from the nearby Bastille market) and there was a lovely and large marble table to eat them at. We were there for 3 weeks and really enjoyed staying there. We would certainly stay there again when we return to Paris.
