We didn’t have the opportunity to meet our host but she gave us excellent directions to get there and receive our keys. Fantastic area with lots happening and close to metro, supermarket, Notre dam, Pompidou centre, etc. it was great when we retired at night as apartment was at the back of a courtyard behind huge doors that sealed it off from the Main Street so there was no noise from the outside. Apartment had aircon which was great as most places we found did no it was also on the ground floor which is great when you are a little bit older or have lots of luggage. Room is a bit small but has everything that you need with a laundromat nearby.
