Alice was a great host and very easy to communicate with. She was responsive via email before we arrived and was always available via cell phone during our stay. She welcomed us with some lovely wine and very tasty chocolate, along with two water bottles and some maps and cards for local eats.

The place is just as described and displayed. It is very cozy, but just comfortable enough to relax and have a small meal and rest. The bathroom and shower are quite tight, so if you need more room to move around, it might not be the best place. We stayed 10 days and found that the bed was reasonably comfortable. There is a bookshelf for your folded clothes, but no drawers or closet. Alice provided us with a drying rack which I used to hang up my clothes.

We came in early January and found that the central heating made it very pleasant. The kitchen is well stocked with everything, and you're free to use the espresso machine and toaster oven. No microwave though.

We really enjoyed the location as it is just around the corner from a metro stop (1 min walk) and in the midst of a very hipster neighborhood. There are lots of great places to eat, drink and hang out by Canal St. Martin. It's also a short walk from the Republique Plaza, which is busier and perhaps more commercial.

Perfect for a young couple who doesn't spend too much time in the room, just going back to shower and sleep.
