Emma is a phenomenal host. Sadly, I didn't have time to meet her, although she was willing to come to the apt at any time, and was very communicative and responded promptly. Even without having met her, I could sense her warmth and hospitality. The apartment itself is very spacious, well appointed, but simple and clean. Everything you would think to have in your own apartment is there, particularly in the kitchen! I had a wonderful time cooking my favorite French dishes (there is a Monoprix nearby where you could find everything you could possibly need). As for the location, you can't beat it. It's on a very quiet (mostly) residential street across from an adorable Canadian bookstore, not far from St. Michel and the Seine. You get just enough of a reprieve from the tourist hustle and bustle of the Latin Quarter, so it's lovely from first time visitors and veterans alike. If you're looking for fancy, go stay at the Crillon, but this place is perfect for the pragmatic traveler in search of authentic charm and value!
