Barbara's location is in a wonderful location; great neighborhood with an array of dining options nearby, good transit options, and is within comfortable walking distance to the Seine. Quiet location, even on the weekends. The bed mattress is soft; good to know if you need more back support. Very nice bathroom setup. Barbara works with a hosting agency; sometimes I wasn't clear if I was communicating with them or with her. Very good response time in messages and nice to have a check in message after our first night.
