Our host was very nice and reachable. She answered all my questions promptly and was there at the time we arrive to give us the keys and instructions for the use of appliances, etc. Since I was the first to book her apt. she greeted us with a small bottle of champagne (a nice touch!). The apt. looked exactly as in the photos (very nicely furnished, cozy, with lots of natural illumination) and included everything you need to spend the week (fully equiped kitchen with lots of utensils, pots & pans, detergents, etc.). The bathroom had the necessary personal hygiene items (shampoo & cream rinse, soap, toilet paper, blower, towels, etc.). She even left two umbrellas for our use. There were books about Paris at the living room with the necessary tourist information.
There are only two issues of concern: the low headroom at the bedroom and bathroom in the second floor and the wooden spiral staircase. It was easy to go up in the stairs but it was tricky to go down because of the width of the steps. I discovered that it was easier to go down in reverse (backwards) so I managed well. Although I bumped my head a couple of times with the wooden beam on the slanted roof directly over the bed, I did not hurt myself and ended up laughing about it. I loved the layout and decoration of the apt., especially the way every little corner is used. But the best part of staying in this apt. is the location. It is in a pedestrian street full of nice restaurants, bistros, shops, etc. which was always full of life. You could walk out the door and have breakfast, lunch or dinner without leaving the area. Perfect location close to a metro station and within walking distance from mayor city attractions, museums and monuments. We walked everywhere!
It was an awesome vacation that we will never forget...
