Zazie is a very warm and welcoming host, as friendly as we wanted her to be, which varied from mininmal interaction to a long chat. The room is very quiet, as advertised, since it faces a courtyard. The toilet, though not the shower, is not en suite, but getting to it does not require entering Zazie's part of the flat and no other room uses it.

The location is super convenient for the 5th, 6th and 7th, with lots of shopping. The restaurant scene in the immediate neighborhood is a little thinner than in some areas, perhaps because it's less touristy than, for example, St. Germaine, though that's only a 10 minute walk.
