Nathalie was th most wonderful and gracious host. She was there for my arrival with a complete set of print outs with information on the best places in the immediate neighborhood and everything I needed to know about the apartment. Situated in a lovely, classic Parisian building, the apartment itself is beautiful - true to the photos - and is stocked like a real home. Everything is available to the guest, from coffee and tea to jam and butter. She even had a bottle of champagne in the fridge as a gift upon arrival. If I had a question or needed something for the apartment, she was close by and always immediately responsive. On top of that, the neighborhood is fabulous. There's a boulangerie just a few steps outside, a Monoprix a block away (which has everything you could ever need) and a couple more steps from la République where you can do some great shopping. There are subways closeby as well, though I prefer walking. I found it easy to walk to the Seine or even across into the 6th, taking 30+ minutes depending where you're going -- it's the best way to see Paris, and you never know what you'll happen upon. 5 stars all around!!
