Gwen is a wonderful, thoughtful person. We had a rather arduous trip with many delays and though Gwen was not able to meet us when we arrived she had left clear instructions about the workings of the apartment and much appreciated information on restaurants, transportation, food outlets and sights to see. When we arrived a bottle of wine was ready for us and it was just what we needed after our less than perfect trip. The apartment is very secure and the neighbourhood was fine, with all the amenities you would need and there are two metro lines close by that get you to main areas in Paris easily.
The apartment is very clean and well decorated. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked and there was plenty of hot water. Being on the seventh floor facing an inside courtyard, it was very quiet at night.
We had a great time in Paris and in great part it was due to Gwen's hospitality and great apartment. We highly recommend her place.
