I'm a solo traveler and stayed here for two fantastic days. Although my stay was very short, I could not be more happy with Maria and her flat! She was very helpful when it came to getting directions via public transport and even met me at the station near their flat when I arrived. Her partner carried my suitcase up the four flights of stairs to the apartment (thanks again!) and suggested things to see. Pretty much all of the major attractions can be easily accessed from this location via one of the two metro stations that are a short walk away. The area seems to be pretty quiet at night for being in the middle of a city which was a plus for me. The apartment is small, which was not an issue, but it has all you need (bed, table, kitchen, and bathroom.) Just be careful getting in and out of the bathtub if you are short like me because its very tall and I almost tripped the first time! The building is very secure and has a coded entry on the main level. I would recommend this listing to anyone staying in Paris.
