Mercedes was an excellent host, as she was extremely communicative and eager to make us feel as welcome as possible, in addition to giving us useful information about the area. The apartment itself is in an unbeatable location, and is very close to the major Parisian attractions as there are two metro stops less than 5 minutes walk away. The downside of this central location, however,does mean that the apartment can be quite loud at times owing to the busy road below.
Nonetheless, the studio was very comfortable and clean, and the kitchen was well-equipped. The sofa bed also offered a very good night's sleep! We had a generally excellent stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Thanks again!
