Great warm, welcoming host, informative and timely responses, convenient location. Apt space is very suitable for two people (my husband and I). Public transportation can be easily accessed (you can go to metro station and ask for a bus map -i liked taking bus better than metro because i enjoyed the views of the city). Many shops and restaurants within 2~8 blocks. One block away from seine river, yet back street block makes apt very quiet. We walked to districk 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 without a problem. Louvre, Orsay, Nortre dame, Pompidou, Tullerie garden, Orangerie museum were in walkable distance and arc of triumph, eiffel tower, opera house, Luxembourg garden, Cluny museum, pantheon were better to take public transportation. RER train station were close, so coming from the CDG airport and going to Versailles were made easy. We would love to go back to Paris and stay at Mathilde's place. One general tip for any new travellers to Paris. Ground floor means 0 which is US`s 1st floor. So apt is on 3rd floor means u have to walk up 3 flights of stairs. Unlike in US, u only need to walk up 2 flights of stairs. Bon voyage~
