Nathalie's apartment is a wonderful place to stay in Paris. The flat itself feels light, airy and spacious - all in all quite peaceful. All of the little touches and design elements are charming, and the bed was quite comfy, and I appreciated the modern bathroom, including the really nice shower.

The location was excellent. I wanted a place that was safe and convenient but not touristy, and this fit the bill. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes close by, but not too close, so it wasn't noisy, not even on Friday or Saturday night. It's across the street from Monoprix, about 10 minutes walk to the great little boutiques on Rue de Charonne, and less than 15 minutes walk to Le Marais. Also, the nearest Metro stop was practically across the street.

Communicating with Nathalie was very easy. She was out of town when I arrived, but her friend let me in and walked me through the apartment.

All in all, I very much enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend Nathalie's place.
