Lola and I were unable to meet in person, but she was very kind and thoughtful. I was moving out of an apartment in Paris, and she was able to let me in to her place much earlier than regular check-in. The apartment is lovely, spare but stylish. The balcony is great. You don't get a view of any typical Parisian monuments, so if you're looking to see the Eiffel, then shy away. But if you want to feel as if you're floating above a canal of beautiful trees as we did, with a lively neighborhood just underneath you pulsing with Parisian life, this is a wonderful find. Nation and a couple of other metro lignes nearby, easy walking distance to Bastille with shopping and trendy restaurants and bars if that's what you'd like. The only downside is the apartment being on the 5e (6th floor if you're in the US) with no elevator. So if you're unable to climb for any reason, you won't be able to stay. If you're bringing much baggage, it will be difficult as well, but it can be done and is worth it.
