Summary: we were very happy to have stayed at Linda's apartment and would not hesitate to use it again. The space, location, views, and hostess make it fantastic choice for an apartment. She even left us a bottle of wine to welcome us to Paris!

Linda was extremely easy to reach, and she responds to your questions very quickly. The apartment is located less than one block from the metro and from there you can get anywhere you have to within Paris efficiently. There is a supermarket, post office (and poste's in France tend to have ATMs), convenience store, excellent boulangerie, and other cafes less than a 5 minute walk away.

The apartment itself is easily 4x the size of a similar priced hotel room. It's so spacious and airy, and comes with such great views. It has appliances in good working order, like refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, and dryer, that will make your life so much easier. The wifi is very speedy.

As for the building, it is a quiet building and the few people we ran into were exceedingly polite. The elevator does not go all the way to the 6th floor where the apartment is, but it gets you to the 5th floor and, unless you've decided to move into the apartment with everything you own, getting your luggage up the one flight of steps should be simple enough. The apartment itself does have ample closet space and hangers for all of your clothing needs.

Check in/out was handled by Constance de Milleville who was responsive, friendly, and very helpful.
