I loved staying here. It feels very Parisian, and it's so pleasant to eat breakfast by the windows looking out at the little green grocer across the street. There is plenty of room for one or two people. Bed was comfy. The kitchen is modern and stocked with everything you need to cook at home. The bathroom looks like it was recently renovated and there's a rain shower and warming rack for towels.
The neighborhood is ideal. The bakery downstairs is fantastic and there's often a long line outside. I had a good meal at the famous Bistro Paul Bert down the block. Terre, around the corner, was also excellent. The Aligre market is nearby and a fun place to shop. The apt is about a 20 minute walk to Bastille, a bit more to the Marais, and there are multiple Metro stops/lines within a few blocks so you can get around super easily.
I didn't meet Virginie, but Marie let me in, showed me around, and was very friendly, letting me check in several hours early. I hope to return!
