Josephine’s apartment is a fantastic space. The room is small but cozy and well-lit, the kitchen is big (by Parisian standards), and the bathroom was always perfectly clean. There are two bedrooms rented out via airbnb in the apartment (not including Josephine’s room), which was a worry of mine at first; however, it turned out to be a great way to meet people visiting Paris. The best part of my 5-month stay here was definitely meeting Josephine—she’s so incredibly kind and selfless.
