Clemence, the host, is absolutely wonderful!! You won't regret choosing this listing.
1. Location: great centralized location within walking distance from the major must see tourist locations and short walk to metro. There are convenient places to eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner nearby.
2. Host: Clemence is an excellent communicator! She reached out before our trip to alert about temporary Paris Airport strikes. She coordinated flexible check in arrangements due to flight cancelation and provided helpful "how to" and safety information for navigating at different times of day.
I cannot say enough about how friendly and kind Clemence and her husband are. It felt like having a friend in a foreign land. Her recommendations and advice as a local were trustworthy and made me feel more comfortable which was really nice for someone who has not traveled much.
3. The building: Secure entry way with access code leads to a beautiful, authentic, and charming Paresian home.
4. The room: It isn't a large space but it was perfect for us (2 fit female adults). We each had our own twin size mattress. There is a full length mirror for getting ready and space to hang short dresses. There is no air conditioning because it isn't needed. We visited in July and even on the hottest day, the space cooled quickly because of the fresh airflow. There is lots of light when you open the windows and shades.
Note* There is a legitimate ladder used to reach the sleeping area. You must be able to climb a tall ladder that is not attached to the wall. We had no concerns with the ladder but someone less healthy or fit may not like it.
I feel so lucky to have found and snagged this listing in a short time before our trip. Just book it! It's great!!
