Pauline and her husband were wonderful, friendly and communicative hosts and we felt very much at home in their cozy, historic little apartment. The location was ideal for wandering by the Seine and getting easily into other central Paris areas by foot, bike, or metro. My only challenge, personally, was with the bed and its very firm mattress. Good for folks who like that, hard for someone like me who likes a soft bed. But, otherwise, a GREAT experience and we recommend it to folks going to Paris who want an authentic neighborhood feel rather than a tourist zone experience!
