Colette was at the apartment to greet us when we arrived. Everything went very smoothly. She was very helpful in giving us overview of the neighborhood and apartment. The listing was very accurate, and the location was great. Sacre Couer is right around the corner (3-4 min walk) and it's just most wonderful place to be in the morning or evening or any other time!

I've never been to Paris before so I have no idea what else it out there in terms of housing. But, I visited a friend who moved to Paris recently and her apartment and building were way less pleasant. So that made me appreciate Colette's place even more.

Few things we found mildly inconvenient:
1) you do have to climb 2 flight of stairs from the subway (about 56 steps) before getting to the building. I did not feel that was spelled out;
2) garbage truck came every couple of days and woke us up very early, but that's nothing Colette can control;
3) in the bathroom, there's just a bathtub with a handheld shower head and no shower curtain - so washing hair or even quick wash was not easy... also there's no window there.

Btw, taxi is only about 42 euro from the airport, so if there's more than 2 people, it's better than taking public transport. Highly recommend.

Overall we felt like home at Colette's apartment and would not think twice about staying there again! Loved it.
