Gilian was VERY efficient and communicative - loads of emails back and forth. The location was AWESOME - so convenient to everything, great stores and restaurants just steps away, easy to get to public transportation, too - but easy to walk if you wanted. We felt very secure - though one morning the alley was pretty gross - noise and such did not bother us. We cooked, and the kitchen was decently set up for such a tiny space. We had 4 people and were very comfortable - I know it is advertised as up to 6 people - but those 6 people would have to be very tolerant of sharing the one bathroom and be aware that privacy and space would become an issue. It was charming and it will top my list when I return to Paris.
