Calin's place is very convenient, 3 minute walk from metro station of Reamur Sebastopol. There is Monoprix supermarket near the metro station where we could buy food and drinks easily, food section is upstairs (we couldn't find it first!). Hot showe is no problem. The toilet seat cover was broken, but manageable. Toilet space is very narrow, so if you are a very large person, you will find difficulty. The apartment is walk up 4th floor, so don't bring very heavy luggage! We had a problem when we were checking in. Calin was out of town and she arranged concierge service to give us the key. But the concierge guy couldn't make it and probably forgot another arrangement. As I got the concierge guy's mobile number, I could communicate with him to arrange a courier service immidately. If I didn't ask for his number, it could have been disasterous. The serious problem occurred later. The night before checking out, Sunday 11pm, I was talking to my daughter for a minute, then someone came to knock the door and complaining in French. I don't speak French, so we just kept quiet. Then the man left. After 15 minutes, the man came back and did the same. So I replied I can't speak French in English. He was complaining about the noise, but we were just talking for 1 minute at the normal conversational level of noise! The next morning when I went downstairs, the downstair neibougher who is yesterday's guy's wife was waiting for me to come out and complain again in French as well as taking photos of me while complaining. That was horrifing experience when only 2 women stating in the apartment without any security guard in a foreign country! Although Calin's place is nice and convenient, we can never go back again as long as the crazy neighbour is living downstairs! As long as you are whispering in the apartment (which we did afterwards!), it should be ok.
