Cristina was a very kind and responsive host. She answered every email and question I had and gave very specific, clear instructions on how to access the flat. She couldn't have been friendlier.

The biggest positive attribute of the apartment is its location. It's fantastic for accessing the major tourist attractions of Paris: Notre Dame, Quartier Latin, le Marais, Centre Pompidou, Jardin du Luxembourg, etc. It's easily accessible by a number of different metro stations and has several different markets, restaurants, and bars close by. It's not a "hip" neighborhood like Canal St. Martin, but it was certainly central and pleasant.

The apartment itself is quite small, and with two people the size was a bit of a drawback. When the bed is folded out to a double, it is difficult to access the bathroom because the bathroom door hits the bed. The bathroom itself is rather tiny and required some acrobatics to fit through the low door. Likewise, there's not a great deal of privacy in the bathroom or anywhere given the space, so consider that when booking. The flat is also on the 6th (American 7th) floor, and there was no working elevator when we stayed, so that is worth considering if you have physical limitations.

I would recommend it to a single person certainly, but I think it gets a little cramped for two on a stay longer than a few days. Again, Cristina was extremely kind and made the experience pleasant with her advice and friendly demeanor.
