Pauline's apartment building is truly lovely with some of the classic Parisian features such as long wrought iron balconies and a central spiral staircase with wooden handrails. There are grand city views from the balcony and we grew to admire the stairwell during our 4 story climbs to the apartment. Marie, Pauline's sister, showed us the apartment upon our arrival, brought us some welcoming gifts (snacks, coffee and wine), and was available for texting so she could answer a few questions during our 2 night stay. We very much appreciated Marie's gracious support. We had a delightful visit and all that is needed for a comfortable stay was provided. We were unaware when we made our booking, that the apartment is someone's full-time residence. If that and the lack of an elevator is acceptable to you, then I recommend a stay here.
