The only reason I rated this apartment as "as expected" is because it was recommended to me with high praise by a friend -- a friend with high standards and impeccable taste! -- who lives in Paris and suggests Daime's flat to her visitors. It completely lived up to her advance reviews. Meticulously kept, clean, tons of light, and centrally located (yet on a charming, quiet side street). Ample closet and drawer space. Coffee maker, filters, and coffee provided, along with bottled water, a guidebook to Paris, and some scented toiletries.
Daime is the perfect host -- she even enlisted her mother to help get me settled in, when my arrival was delayed, and her mother promptly printed out directions for me to reach my dinner reservation that evening. Daime checked in but also left me to my own devices, and was responsive when I had questions that popped up during the stay, like my need for an umbrella.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.
