Naima's place is great! It's located fairly close to the Blanche and Abbesses metro stops in a very walkable neighborhood with restaurants, shops, and markets. The apartment is small--perfect for one person or two people who really, really like each other--and it's comfortable, cute, clean, and has everything you'll need for a great stay, including a washing machine, which, if you've been on the road a while, is a godsend. If you're not used to Paris stairs, you'll be happy to know it's on the second floor, so you're only carrying your luggage up two flights of steps (many apartments in Paris are on higher floors than that with no lift, so this is awesome). The building is fairly quiet, but there is a bar across the street that gets noisy at night. The apartment has high-efficiency windows that keep out a lot of the noise, but if you're noise-sensitive, you might want to bring earplugs. On the other hand, this is part of the Paris experience, so it's also fun to open the window and people watch, or go down and join them. Naima is very responsive to messages and very helpful. After a long day of walking around in chaotic Paris, I enjoyed coming back to the peace of Naima's apartment and relaxing. I highly recommend staying here, and would do so myself again if I were back in Paris.
