Unsure of where to begin with how wonderful this experience has been, all I can say is Pauline really came to my rescue. Coming to Paris for a long stay, the hunt for housing was a true pain until I found this studio, literally in the heart of Paris. Small yes, but the place has everything you'll need and more. Top of the line appliances and updated fixtures make genius use of the space. Concern about the lofted bed disappeared after the first night in what is a huge, cozy, relaxing retreat. It's a mystery to me how it can be so calm and quiet inside and central outside. Once out the door you are exactly where you want to be, surrounded with cafes in one of the most popular areas of Paris. Populated and crowded at night, the building remains secure and safe. I have never felt uneasy staying here alone. Pauline has been easy to communicate with and incredibly friendly. I feel very lucky having had the chance to meet her and live this beautiful life from her apartment. Could not recommend more!
