Nathalie is fantastic. She welcomed us at her flat and showed us everything about the place, and was very happy to do so. The apartment is spacious, clean, and very bright. The bed was firm (but comfy) and perfect. The best part was the patio in the late afternoon after a long day of walking - we would come back to the flat and have some wine and put our feet up. It's in a good part of town with a 6 or 7 minute walk to the nearest subway - we used transit for a lot of the long-distance sight-seeing and it was very easy to navigate. There are a few really good places nearby, a some not-so-good, but you'll figure that out within a day of being in Paris. One of the best parts was the Bastille Market that runs between two main roads - you can't miss it. Fresh food and produce, great priced wines and cheeses... Special thanks to Nathalie who made our welcome very comfortable and sweet.
