Nathalie is a wonderful hostess and I felt like I had a friend in Paris. She met us at her apartment home, which was perfect. I'm not sure apartment is the right word, but this home is on the third (top floor penthouse?) of a residential building. The apartment had a comfortable living area, as well as a great little kitchen and laundry area. The bedrooms were very comfortable and there was plenty of space and privacy for our group of five. The apartment is steps from the metro, which was super convenient and very close to a number of shops and grocery stores. It is right in the middle of a vibrant neighborhood with a couple great cafe's. My favorite perk was the Starbucks nearby. Definitely a great stay.
