As we read in other's reviews, Alice served us cake and juice/coffee upon our arrival. We were warmly welcomed.
Alice is lovely and savvy. She used google translator, and my husband, Ryan, spoke with her in French too. She gave us many recomdations for Paris and happily talked about wine with us, over breakfast which she graciously prepared.
Our room was comfortable. The shared shower and sink room connects to her bedroom, and the toilet is in another separate room.
Her home is very close (5 min walk) from the Nation station, line 1, which connects to everywhere!! We also walked easily to the 11th and all around.
