Xiaoling is a great host. She was very warm and welcoming at check-in. The apartment is super cute, and indeed matches the pictures and description. Lots of natural sunlight and a cute patio accessible from the upstairs loft area. The location is awesome, on a charming narrow street with lots of shops and restaurants. The area is bustling until late into the evening and is very centrally located. One caveat worth mentioning is that the apartment is up 5 flights of stairs, with no elevator. I personally didn’t mind the walk up, but it could be an issue to keep in mind. I would be happy to stay there again the next time I am in Paris.
