I chose this apartment based on the images, it's location and the fact that it had a proper bed rather than a sofa bed. The apartment was everything and more that I could have hoped for. We were in Paris to run the marathon, Nathalies home was so beautiful and relaxing that we were able to chill out completely before the big day. It is in perfect area, with restaurants, shops and beautiful architecture around every corner. Nathalie provided excellent directions which made it very easy to find. If you are not used to living in a city then there is some noise from the street at night but not enough to prevent a good nights sleep, I used earplugs but my husband slept well enough without them. The bed linen is lovely. Breakfast in the Place des Vosges is recommended for the wonderful setting. I would definitely recommend Nathalies flat to anyone that would like a truly Parisien experience.
