Soltana’s place is a tastefully decorated and very functional place. We appreciated the big windows, convenient location within walking distance of the Louvre, clothes washer/dryer, and the host’s quick communication. There are just two things to be aware of. First, getting into the place involves walking through a smelly courtyard and up 4 or 5 flights of narrow, uneven stairs. Second, the place gets hot in the summer. Both of these things are not the host’s fault and I imagine come with the territory in older buildings in Paris ( I don’t have any comparison points). Overall, we enjoyed the stay and felt it was a good value.
