Jacqueline was an unbelievably gracious and accommodating host. Her apartment is exactly as described, but even better than depicted in the posted photos. The large-open primary space is just that: large and inviting, simply and tastefully furnished and decorated, and most comfortable. I prepared many meals during my recent eight day stay and the kitchen is fully equipped. The separate bedroom area is as well appointed and can be closed-off from the main living space for quiet/privacy. I am not a new visitor to Paris, but this was my first time staying in the 11th arrondisement. Loved it! As you leave the apartment (set in an historic courtyard) turning rights brings out out onto a vibrant (by night) club/restaurant filled street well-known in Paris lore. Exiting to the left you are in a quiet residential setting, and so goes the general area! Transportation, food shopping, window shopping and restaurants are all near by and plentiful. I shall definitely return to Jacqueline's exquisite maisonnette!
