Sabine met me at the door at the arranged time, and provided thorough instructions introduction to the suite. She inquired about my interests and made suggestions about places I might like to visit in the neighbourhood. She even emailed information about a music festival that was happening -- I unfortunately couldn't make it, but appreciated the gesture on her part.
The suite is clean and nicely-laid out, and although not large, contains all the conveniences necessary for a short stay in Paris. There's a lovely little skylight that provides a lot of natural light. The building too has a lot of character -- love the elevator. The only thing it doesn't have is WiFi, but there are many locations nearby that offer it for free, and Sabine suggested a couple to me. It's a great location -- a short walk to the Bastille and conveniently located steps from a Metro station. For vegans like myself there are two restaurants nearby, Le Grand Appétit and Ginger Cafe, just off the Bastille. Didn't get to try them unfortunately because they were closed when I went by, but from what I saw and read of them they looked good. There's also a great "bio-marché" (Welcome Bio -
10 Rue Boulle) nearby that stocks a range of organic and vegan items.

Overall I highly recommend this place -- cozy and fun. Merci, Sabine!
