I did not get to meet Josephine until the last day but I was so very touched at how hard she works to try and make your stay as smooth as possible. For example I needed to drop off my bags early (as my tour left early in the morning and she very kindly accommodated this), and then when I had a late flight out she allowed me to retain my luggage on site with key access until as late as possible, for which I am incredibly grateful as it made my departure process so much less stressful. The apartment is easy to control in terms of temperature - I usually am quite sensitive to the cold and the apartment is perfect for sorting that out! I did not get to use the kitchen so much but from what I could see it is very well stocked and spacious. The bathroom is lovely and roomy with heating rails for towels and a washer-dryer which is great! The bed is comfortable and can be split if you needed it to be. The living room and dining area adjoin and are very comfortable also. The apartment is also very secure - I was a solo female traveller and never felt scared at all coming in and out of the building. As for the cleaning - stripping the bed takes 5 mins and I ran a vacuum over which took another 5-10minutes - very easy to do and I did not mind this at all in exchange for all of the other kind services and value Josephine has to offer. I would highly recommend Josephine's place to stay in Paris and will be recommending this to all of my friends and colleagues. Thanks once again to Josephine for all of her efforts at making my stay in Paris such a warm and comfortable one.
