Nina's apartment was perfect for us. I had done a lot of research on Paris and realized that for a family of 5 like us, finding a big enough place for a reasonable price would be impossible. So I knew going in it would be a little small, but we asked Nina for an extra crib for our youngest and she was kind enough to accomodate - and it turned out great. It had a kitchen that was just the right size, two windows to let in light and air, enough space for us to get things done and then get out into the city. We felt safe the entire time. It was quiet during the night (during the day you sometimes hear people going up/down the stairs). The absolute best thing about it is where it is located. It could not have been better. Whatever you want, you will find close by. Fancy shops, consignment shops, macaroon shops, restaurants, grocery story, there is even an Eataly directly next door. The Seine river is about 2 blocks away, the metro is even closer. The Louvre is a 20 minute walk, so is the Place de Vosges, cute neighborhoods everywhere. I could keep going, you get the point. Nina was very responsive and gave great directions, great host. I definitely recommend it.
