I spent a month in Alice’s apartment in the 9th arrondissement. Despite my arrival being delayed I received a warm welcome. I found the space to be larger than I expected and very neat, clean and well-appointed. During my stay I made extensive use of the kitchen (there are many fine places to buy excellent produce nearby) and enjoyed using the Sonos speaker to stream music via wifi, which was functional throughout my stay. I found the bed to be very comfortable and enjoyed many hours of reading on the couch/sofa. The shower is huge and the bathroom is modern and roomy. I used the washing machine, dishwasher, microwave oven and coffee machine regularly and all worked faultlessly. The neighbours were both quiet and friendly and it was nice to be on the ground floor (no stairs). The courtyard and greenery outside the front door is something special. A short walk to basically any food/wine shop you could need, as well as the Cadet Metro. Alice was both friendly and informative in all correspondence and I would happily stay in her appartement again in the future.
