This is a small, clean apartment in a quiet alley near the Place de la Bastille. There's not much storage space for luggage and clothes. The communications with the host by e-mail were fine, but we never saw her in person. On the whole, it was pretty good, but not quite as amazing as other reviews would suggest. For example, we were provided only one large bath towel for 2 persons for a 5 day stay. Upon request, we were given another both towel, which was thin and grey. Only a 1+ day supply of coffee was provided -- Nescafe. Perhaps this is all one can expect for $100/night in Paris.
