Julia is a very responsive, friendly and helpful host, and was quick to answer any questions or messages I sent her. The apartment is very small, but well organized and space-efficient. The bed in the small loft above the kitchen area is comfortable, and large enough even for a tall occupant like me (at over six feet, one inch). You must be flexible enough to access the loft via the sturdy ladder, and to avoid standing fully upright in the loft, but I got used to that quickly and rather enjoyed the cozy aspect of sleeping in that upper level. The apartment's location is incredible -- on a quiet side street just off Blvd. St. Germaine, close to Place St. Michel, Place Odéon, the Seine and Notre Dame.
