We had a lovely time in Paris and at Barbara's. The location was perfect-on a quiet street but literally a block from restaurants, cafe's and shops of the left bank.. We were a few blocks from 2 Metro stations and a cab stand and a pleasant walk to the Louvre and D'Orsay.
The apartment was perfect for us with a bedroom on the first floor and one on the second floor for our granddaughter whom we took with us.
It was very hot for Paris with days into the mid to high nineties but while not air conditioned (not much of Paris is)Barbara had an air cooler which took the edge off things. A few days before arrival we saw the weather was going to be hot. We sent an email to Barbara expressing our concern and by the time we arrived she had bought 2 floor fans which made sleeping fine.
Barbara's graciousness as a hostess was exemplary and the apartment was modern with secure, keyless entrance to the lobby, elevator landing and to set the floor of the elevator.
We would definitely stay at Barbara's again and would recommend it to people who need 2 bedrooms
