Natalia's place was the perfect place I needed for my semester in Paris. Having a separate kitchen gave it more of a feel of a larger space, and it had everything I needed in terms of amenities. The kitchen had all the basic cooking utensils, a microwave, a toaster oven and a coffee machine, there's a hair drier in the bathroom, and enough sheets and towels to swap while washing the first set. The sofa pulls out into a (apparently not super comfortable) bed, which was perfect for my needs for having a guest over a couple of nights, and there's a table to eat at and a TV with local channels available. The internet works great. Natalia had left some suggestions for places to eat nearby as well. The windows are well insulated, which meant that I could barely hear the yellow jackets as they protested in the street below (this is not a regular occurance, they only deviated from their regular route to walk by the apartment twice in the 5 months I stayed there). The apartment had heating, which was great during the winter months. The water is Parisian, which means it leaves a white residue when boiling it and tastes a bit off, but is still safe to drink and does the trick. The only complaint I have is the construction in the apartment next door is very loud, but this is not on Natalia at all and will probably stop soon. All in all, a very comfortable stay and I would recommend this place to anyone.
