Françoise is a delightful person and a very helpful hostess who took the time to explain how to use everything in her apartment and provided us with a package of couscous for our first night, which was much appreciated. She also speaks English, which would be important to many visitors. The apartment is quite lovely, with natural sunlight during the day and soft, romantic lighting in the evening. The living room is very large, and the kitchen is well equipped, including a washing machine. The bed is extremely comfortable, the Wifi is very good, and the apartment features a bath/shower room and double sinks. The location of the apartment is excellent. It is right next to the Bastille, where several Metro lines converge, and a couple times we walked less than a mile to the Seine, Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter, and to many of the shops and restaurants in the very interesting Marais district. This place is great, and we will definitely stay here again! Thanks, Françoise!
