Ingrid is a great host, and very responsive to emails. Ingrid was unavailable during our stay but her brother was lovely and helped us a great deal. We were provided with 2 sets of keys to the apartment - which was really good for us as a group wanting to do separate things. The apartment is bright, large and spacious, and has an Haussmann lift (even though it's only on the 3rd floor!). The area is peaceful but only a short walk to busier areas like Bastille and Republique. Overall a great apartment, location and host!
