Stayed with Sabine over a weekend in Paris in the smaller room on the second floor. Check-in and check-out communication was smooth and painless. The apartment is bright and cheerful. Sabine is a wonderful host with lots of suggestions for places to eat, drink, explore, and experience. The location is not far from the metro and is easy to figure out for someone unfamiliar with Paris (like me!) Would recommend to anyone looking for respite from the crowds in the 1er arrondissement.
