We definitely recommend Hela's apartment for weekend-trips or short-term trips to Paris. Everything was absolutely clean and she provides you with fresh towels!
The room and the bathroom are quite small just like almost everywhere in Paris. But to be fair I am a bit taller than the average person so don't be afraid of that!
The area the apartment is located in persuaded us with a lot of cosy rasseries and a market on Saturdays that appeared right in front of our doorstep and left no room for any wishes.
Infrastructure is good as well. The next metro station is only a few footsteps away and takes you to the Seine or one of the many sightseeing highlights in just a few minutes.
We also tried the Velib service, which is the name of the bike rent in Paris.
These bike-stations are literally everywhere and when you once registered yourself with your credit card its a matter of seconds to rent a bike. It's cheap as well!
Finally about the host herself:
Hela is very friendly. We never felt uncomfortable and she made us feel at home very quick.
She provides you with a perfect description for your arrival so you can't miss the building and even you can enter all by yourself through code-locks and a key box. That played out to be very helpful!
So thanks a lot Hela! We will definitely come back one day!
