We truly enjoyed our stay at Brigitte's place. The area was perfect (right in the heart of the 6th arr.) - it was lively and there were restaurants and shops all along the street but it was still pretty quiet at night so noise didn't affect our sleeping. The bed was firm but comfortable, the shower was nice, and the fact that there was a washer/dryer saved us after getting caught in the rain! The apartment doesn't have much in terms of necessities (we had to run out and get hand soap, shampoo, etc.) so just be prepared to bring what you might need - but that's a small price to pay and gave us the Parisian supermarket experience! Overall we would recommend staying at Brigitte's place to anyone looking for a centrally located and comfortable apartment!
