The apartment is a good choice for a single traveler. The location is a little remote if you want to stay out late and rely on the metro. For short-term visitors like me the metro is far easier to master than the bus system. Unfortunately, Paris metro stops at 1 am. If this is not a concern for you, the place is a great choice. Some nights small groups of young men gather on the street four stories below and can be loud quite late into the night. If the weather is cool enough, you could close the windows. Otherwise, it could keep you up later than you might want.

Faina is a very gracious and solicitous host. I met her briefly on the last morning of my departure. She made sure that I had breakfast before I left. She was open and genuinely interested in her guest's experience. She is also a conscientious and socially engaged woman to have a conversation with. Her instruction and helpful information folder anticipated very thoroughly everything I needed to know both in the apartment and in the neighborhood. The apartment is comfortable and well-appointed for a single traveler. The price is very reasonable. I had a good stay of six days in Paris in June 2012.
