My wife and I spent 4 days and 3 nights in Tamara's place. This was in mid august. In short, we had a very pleasant stay at her place.

The best part was the location. Its quite close to the Nation metro which has excellent connectivity to all parts of Paris, including the sightseeing Metro line M1.

Checking in and checking out were very easy with no dependency on anyone. Tamara had arranged for our easy entry even in her absence. Similarly, when we checked out, the process was easy and quick.

Another convenience of location was the huge array of restaurants in the vicinity, of different cuisines. Almost all of them were open till late night.
We strongly recommend the bakery right on the corner of the street where the apartment is, their croissants were the best I've had.

Her apartment was quite sufficient for 2 people and well equipped with what one would need for a short stay - refrigerator, hot plates, kettle, microwave, plates, cutlery, etc. There was no television, so if you go to Paris to stay indoors, then you may miss it. We were out the whole time and were home only to sleep.

The bathroom could be a little cramped for you if you are a big person, especially getting in and out of the shower. Personally, we were quite okay with it.

The apartment was very safe at all times of the day and night. At the same time, it was quiet for a peaceful night's sleep.

Tamara was easy to reach via phone and her response was prompt via email / SMS. We found the whole experience not only very smooth and stress free, but even pleasurable.

I'd definitely recommend Tamara's apartment, and would love to stay there again.
