The apartment is small (typical for this part of Paris), but the room is large and light and airy with a small balcony - very pleasant. This is normally the living room, but it is private to you during the visit - you don’t need to put away the bed during the day. You are very close to the metro, and easy walking distance from the Marais.
Silvia is very kind and helpful and welcoming, and Gato is an extremely charming cat - Silvia was unable to be there when I arrived, but Gato greeted me at the door and conducted me to my room, where he also assisted me in resting / sleeping off my jet lag.
A very pleasant home base from which to explore the northern side of Paris.
