Ana's place worked out beautifully for our one-month stay. It is spacious and in a very convenient neighborhood with numerous nearby buses and metro lines, close to shops of all kinds including grocery stores and even including several organic food stores which I appreciated, plus nearby post office, etc. Ana provides an extremely generous supply of towels and bed linens. We made good use of the two ceiling fans and one floor fan during the one week of Parisian heat wave. And we found that lowering the metal shutters and drawing the curtains helped enormously in keeping the apartment cool. Ample closet and shelf space with plenty of hangers. Also good shelf space and some drawers in the bathroom for cosmetics, etc.
Ana is a welcoming and very helpful host who is quick to respond to all questions or concerns. On arriving, I mentioned that I had hoped there would be a toaster and she went out and bought one! Very thoughtful.
The furnishings are basic and serviceable and we appreciated that the apt. was not cluttered--it's rare to find ample space in a Parisian apt. My husband and I, for example, could both do our floor exercises with room to spare.
I would be happy to stay at Ana's in the future.
