If you are traveling to Paris for the first time and a little nervous about where to stay - this is your place! I stayed here a few days to get my "bearings" around the city and I was immediately made comfortable by Kathleen. I speak very little French, and it was great to stay with her, ask questions, and feel my nervousness dissipate! She was very helpful on a few things to check out in the neighborhood and was very thorough explaining the check-in process and how to move around the city. As for the rental - this is an old and beautiful building, and was a perfect introduction to Paris. I loved being able to open the old shutters in the morning and look onto the courtyard and up at the sky, and sip coffee made from a kettle in my own room. Do note that the apartment is on the 3rd floor, but there IS a small lift if you can't take the stairs.
Thank you so much, Kathleen! I hope to be back soon :)
