We loved Julie's place. It was small but had everything we needed. Julie was there to meet us when we arrived, showed us how to use all of the appliances, and told us about the great places in the neighborhood. Regarding the neighborhood - this was our fifth time in Paris and this neighborhood is one that we definitely want to return to. Great restaurants, not at all touristy, walking distance (10 minutes) to three metro lines and several bus lines. We'll definitely try to stay at Julie's again during our next trip to Paris.
