We stayed at Tamara's apartment for 2 months and we had a great time. The location is fantastic, close to lots of shops, restaurants, bars and 3 metro lines. The apartment is nicely decorated, and pretty spacious with a big living room, big bedroom and a small but cute kitchen and bathroom. We felt very at home here! It's big enough to have friends over - but still very cosy!

Now to some downsides: The building - like so many buildings in Paris - is very old. This means: It's noisy when people walk up the stairs, walk around in their apartment, close doors etc. Some of the doors in the apartment don't work very well or not at all, some walls are a bit run-down and it can also be a little dark. But that's about it.

The contact with Tamara and her mother was good, they were friendly and accomodating and always here for us when we needed anything. So I would definitely recommend staying in this apartment - it is a perfect starting point to explore Paris and a nice place to come home to at night! (Very safe area too!)
