the apartment was absolutely adorable. the only thing i would caution visitors of are the very steep steps leading to the loft space. just be very careful when climbing them. nathalie was the supreme hostess, with plenty of communication before, during, and even after our visit. she was also incredibly accommodating when, due to my husband's accident (he broke his leg in paris and had to undergo surgery at a french hospital), i inadvertently caused a bit of inconvenience for her. her understanding during that difficult time is much appreciated. would highly recommend a stay in this centrally-located gem of an apartment!!!
