I had a wonderful stay at Helenes place. She was waiting for me on arrival and the instructions provided on how to get to her place were so easy to follow. Every thing was well organized even the wonderful walking tour map that she provided to make sure I saw Paris from a locals perspective and didnt miss any of the sights. This was excellent as I was able to find some great cafes to sample the food. The room is exactly as described. It is small and very quiet. I always had a restful nights sleep. It was no problem going to her apartment on the 3rd floor to shower. Helene gave me full access to her apartment to shower and use the wifi as the signal was a little week upstairs on the 6th floor. I was also able to use the kitchen to make a small breakfast in the morning which she provided. Helene was great to talk to and always gave helpful advice. The room is on the 6th floor and the only access is a narrow spiral staircase. No problem with a backpack but if you have a suitcase this may be difficult. The apartment is in an excellent location. I could walk to the Eifel tower in 5 to 10 minutes. It was convenient to all sights.I walked everywhere but the metro is very nearby if you prefer. The Rue Cler nearby had great cafes and shops and the best glace. So much food to choose from. I highly recommend Helenes place. Thank you again for being a wonderful host.
