Francesca has a lovely apartment which is bathed in light with fab views over Paris. It felt clean, safe and very friendly.
The check-in etc was faultless - Francesca got back with the answer to a couple of small queries minutes after sending the message!
Also, the apartment is in a really hip location that is not over run with tourists - so felt very French. But it is an easy stroll to Le Marais, the Picasso gallery, the Seine etc. There are some really cool restaurants within a few minutes walk and lovely "on trend" shopping. A really piece of luck for me as I booked last minute.
