We stayed at Ana's for 12 days. The apartment is wonderfully full of light with the living and dinning rooms having an expansive view on a quiet avenue and greenery. It was well equipped with washer/dryer, etc plus Ana left it well supplied with necessities. We felt like guests in someone's beautiful well-furnished home rather than people staying in the sterility of a purely for profit short term apartment rental. Yet most of the owners private effects were put away, so it didn't feel cluttered with someone else's stuff. Unlike past reviews, the internet has been upgraded and it was as fast as in my home office in the US. The neighborhood is quiet and felt like "real Paris" with shops and restaurants mostly frequented by French speakers. Yet, it was close to everything. We were able to walk (15 - 30 min for the center city, for example) to almost all of the major tourist sites, and my wife thought that the nearby (15 min walk) Bon Marche complex was one of the best large store shopping experiences she has had in Paris. When we didn't feel like walking there were at least 4 different Metro stops (most serving different Metro lines) within a short distance. Ana was a great host. She was always available, responding to all of our questions and solving the few small issues that came up right away. After our day, the showers (we did not use the bathtub) had plenty of hot water and good flow from the shower head. A few things that did not detract from our stay but are important to note is that the home has only one toilet even though it has two bathrooms. But the toilet is in its own room, and we did not have any issues getting ready to go out even though we were a family of 5 with three children aged 13 - 22. Also, wanting to be good neighbors, we needed to be careful walking or making noise in the front bedroom with the double bed + bunk bed so as not to disturb the concierge below us after 11:30 pm. However the payoff is that the building was really quiet at night, which was nice and surprising given its age and location. But this would not be a great apartment for noisy jet-lagged teenagers. In summary a great apartment in a great neighborhood. We would definitely stay again.
