This flat was my dream come true. Having never been to Paris (or even Europe) before, I decided to make the trip all by myself with virtually no direction from anyone about where to stay, what to do, etc. I honestly think this flat made all the difference. For one, it looks exactly like the photos, which are beautiful, as is the flat. It is small, but for one or two people in Paris, it is more than enough. It's size actually made me feel comfortable as it wasn't more than I needed, just enough. The apartment itself is great, but the neighborhood is EVERYTHING. For one, it's like a 3 minute walk to the Metro, which, if you know Paris, you know if your best friend. Two, the neighborhood is so lively and gorgeous and just what you would think of when you're an American girl dreaming of Paris. There are restaurants and cafes and bars and shops and markets and everything you could ever need or want right at your feet. The Bastille area is about a 5-10 minute walk and the nightlife there is so cool and hip and every other cliche word I can think of to describe epic. On top of all that, Pauline is absolutely lovely! She was very welcoming, sweet and made me feel like I was a guest in her home, not someone renting a flat from her for a week. There is absolutely nothing negative I could say about this flat. Nothing. A couple of tips:
Bring toiletries (which I did)
Towels are provided
There is a hair dryer (Ladies! ...and gentlemen)
It's on the first floor (which is the second floor to us Americans) so there aren't a huge number of stairs to hike up
There is a fridge, hot plate and microwave which is super convenient
There are wine glasses and a bottle opener...ooh la la
The shower is a little...different, but not at all a bad thing
RENT THIS FLAT IT'S AMAZING

Voila!
