Nina's place was great for the few days I was in Paris. The room was cozy and the post alluded, but with really excellent light and a window that opened on to an inner courtyard.
The private bathroom was convenient as I didn't have to worry about waking anyone showering late at night.
Nina was very gracious and welcoming and has had a host of experiences throughout her life, so we quickly found some common ground to talk about. Being that she has been a resident if the neighborhood for more than fifteen years, her recommendations were spot on.
The place is close to the Bastille station in a really fun neighborhood. I will be sure to check if Nina's place is open next time I'm in Paris. Definitely recommended.
