If Danielle's place isn't booked already, you better book it as soon as possible. It checks every point: first of all, Danielle is a marvelous host (she cares about you, she informs you about the touristic spots and public transportation network, etc.), and better yet, a great woman; the place feels authentic parisian, is strategically positioned near the center of Paris where the tourist attractions are, and is located in a good neighborhood; the room is private, cozy, beautiful with nice touch of the host's paintings, and very functional with kitchen; and last but not least, it's affordable for Paris. I may have left some other points, but believe me, you gotta book this room if you can!
