About the host:
Isabelle was very helpful and timely with her responses. Though we didn't get to meet her, as she was on holiday, her daughter and friend showed us around the apartment, made us aware of the various resources in and out of the apartment. Oh, and Isabelle provided a delightful baguette as well as some supplies in the fridge that made our first few mornings a bit more like staying at home.

About the listing:
The listing description was accurate, modest even.

About the unit:
Wow. This spacious apartment surrounded by nightlife was a great find! We had a large bedroom/living space. Though I didn't take measurements, I'd say the large room was nearly 15 x 20 feet, with a fair sized bathroom for an European apartment and a decent sized kitchen. The clothing washer worked well, and if let your clothes hang on the drying rack for a few hours with the fan blowing on it, you'll have a batch of laundry done in just a few hours.

If you intend to do laundry daily, talk to the host about to keep the hot water hot.

The location was prime, only a short 3 - 4 minute walk from Bastille Metro tunnel entrances. Right on the end of a block full of bars and nightlife. I can sleep through anything, and if the windows are closed, it's pretty quiet. If you have trouble sleeping in the city, bring ear plugs.

Great value! Beautiful, spacious and clean I couldn't have hoped for more!
