Faina was wonderful! She was quick to respond, very friendly, was thorough in providing us with details about her place and neighborhood (best way to get there, where to shop and dine, etc.), and very accomodating to our needs. The place is clean, great location and safe, everything was as described. Very convenient, near a large supermarket plus other smaller grocery shops, great variety of restaurants nearby, excellent bakeries and specialty chocolate/dessert shops. We had a question regarding the washing machine (basically how to operate it) and she called us back within half an hour (this was while she was overseas!)...so you know that you're getting a really considerate hostess. We plan on renting from her again in the future when we visit Paris again, and I've recommended her to several friends. Wonderful and sweet person with a wonderful place!!
