Severine's place is just as depicted in the photos, and the room faces a quiet courtyard, no noise at night which is very restful. Severine seems to know all of the museums and sights, so I got her opinion on my itinerary and she gave me some ideas. She also provides a small metro map and some guidebook reading. The apartment really is a stone's throw from the metro, which itself is well-connected to just about anywhere you could want to go. The area isn't taken over by our fellow tourists yet, so it's really nice to walk around and get a feel for the local Parisian scene.

Notes so you have a bit more info: If you're a larger person like myself, you probably know that Paris spaces are small, but they are really small! The lift was as wide as me (just barely), and the lip of the shower is very high and required very careful maneuvering to get in and out. The bed is more of a futon, no springs, which I think is worth knowing. The kitchen is very basic; maybe do breakfast here but I'd advise eating out in any of the delicious brasseries or restaurants in the area instead of cooking.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here.
