We really enjoyed our stay in Manoela's charming apartment. It is nicely decorated, very clean, and in a great location close to several Metro stops. We loved being able to walk to all the patisseries, boulangeries, produce stands, markets (Franprix, Monoprix), cafes, etc. in the neighborhood, and the sights of Paris were easily accessible by Metro. The bedroom and kitchen look out on a quiet courtyard, but the living room overlooks a busy street which can get rather noisy when you have the windows open (necessary during the summer). Also note that there's no elevator, so the stairway would be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. Although I didn't get to meet Manoela in person (she was out of town during our visit), she was very responsive and helpful in our email communications.
