I stayed here for about a month while looking for a permanent apartment in Paris. The location is PERFECT; a vibrant neighborhood with great nightlife, food, and culture, and close enough to central transit hubs so easy to get anywhere in Paris. My local friends could not believe I was staying at such an ideal location for such a reasonable price. The apartment was similarly colorful and had all the amenities I needed for my stay; I cooked and did my work like I would in my own home. Jeanne was warm, friendly, generous, and supremely organized and on top of logistical details: an ideal host for a foreigner. She was happy to provide local tips and share her delicious tea and invite guests to enjoy her cool hobbies (like forro dancing) with her. She also really helped me improve my French which I appreciated since I know it's probably easier for most people to switch to English when talking to me... Anyway, I have stayed many different places in Paris and this was my favorite by far!! Five stars!
