Danielle's place was just wonderful. It was small, but most places you'll stay on a budget are. She was extremely easy to get ahold of and returned emails usually within minutes. Her house cleaner was there to greet us when we arrived, even though our flight was 4 hours delayed. There are many great restaurants close by, perfect to wake up, walk down and have a nice Parisian breakfast. At night, it can be a bit noisy, but not near what we've found in other hotels and apartments. By bike you're just moments from the Seine. There is a grocery store around the corner also. It's in a safe, central location.
As far as her apartment, it was clean and had everything we needed except an ironing board. Kitchen was great and stocked with pots, pans and dishes. We went to the store and made a few meals ourselves to save some $$. Internet worked perfectly, bed was just fine and overall the place was charming and well kept.
We would stay there again, and may in the future. Big thanks to Danielle for a wonderful place to stay in Paris.
