Paulina is the quintessential host. She is pleasant, thoughtful and accommodating. The accommodation was as noted, it was clean and Paulina thoughtfully provided a few items to start us off. We were particularly pleased with the large bowl of fruit. It was a welcome touch much appreciated by weary travellers. Metro stops are close by and provide easy access to tourist destinations. There is a small store just outside the main door to the courtyard and essentials are easily obtained. The large entry doors to the courtyard provide a barrier from the busy street and give the illusion that one is in a more residential section of Paris. There are multiple restaurants for those who don't wish to cook and we highly recommend Pedzouille on Rue Des Jeuneurs..a 8 minute walk. We would gladly stay at Paulina's should we return to Paris.
