Gina's apartment is the perfect size for two, with an extremely comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom by city standards. The shower has good water pressure and plenty of hot water. We loved having the washer/dryer unit, since my husband had been in Copenhagen for business the week before, with significant weight restrictions for his luggage. The Metro is just down the street, and there is good food shopping along Fauberg St. Denis (especially the cheese shop next door). Although this is a bustling street, the location of the apartment in a small alley off the main road means that you have absolutely no street noise at night. We were also grateful that we could drop off our bags early so that we could explore the neighborhood and enjoy a great lunch without having to drag our luggage around with us. My husband, who doesn't speak French, loved being able to communicate with Gina in Italian. This was our first trip to Paris, and we would happily stay here again.
