Violaine was a lovely host and gave us good advices of places to visit as well as local places for eating/ groceries/shopping etc when we asked, and was so friendly and helpful. Otherwise we were left to own own privacy. The apartment is stylishly classic French and beautiful, altho the floorboards creaked a bit when being walked on. Location is excellent. The building has a calm and quiet feel. I would definitely recommend staying at Violaine's place when in Paris.
