I loved staying here while visiting Paris for the first time alone. It was very easy to find and even though I didn't know much about the area, it turned out to be an excellent neighborhood to stay in. Good food within walking distance, various parks, easy Metro access. Vania's friend greeted me as she was out and I arrived late. He was very kind and helpful. I also enjoyed talking to Vania. I don't speak French and she doesn't speak much English but we found ways to communicate and enjoy some conversation. The home is comfortable and beautifully decorated. It was also nice to have kitchen access as needed. I would stay there again for sure. (There is a cat so if you're allergic it's probably not a good place for you to stay - otherwise, it's very comfortable for 1 person and might be fine for a couple too).
