Dominique's place was exactly as pictured. Beautiful and full of Parisian charm. The location was good, close to a metro and cafes. We rented the full apartment. Dominque communicated in advance about check-in instructions and we confirmed with her that our check-in was at 9am. When we arrived in the morning at 9am, Dominique had initially asked us if we could come back a half hour later as she was still in her pajamas and not quite ready yet. I told her that we had 4 bags, and my mom was with me, and had already waited at a cafe for an hour before since we had an early flight. I have never had this sort of check-in happen to me, though do understand that sometimes life happens. She agreed that we come up and finished getting both herself and the apartment ready. She still had to get changed, had some dishes to do, as well as had to go buy food for the cat. She was very gracious in allowing me to borrow her computer while she went to go pick up cat food. She came back later that day around 4pm as she forgot something, and my mom and I had been taking a nap. It was a bit scary at first when we didn't know who had entered the apartment. Dominique was flexible in allowing us to check-out earlier as we had an earlier flight back to the US. Overall, Dominique was very kind, and her apartment was beautiful. I would recommend staying here, however hope that future check-ins will be easier and less stressful than ours! Merci Dominque, d'avoir partagé votre appartement avec nous!
