Nathalie's apartment was a good place from which to explore Paris. Located right next to a metro stop and within a block of supermarkets, restaurants and shops, it proved to be a very convenient place to stay. Climbing up the 6 flights of stairs was tough with luggage but as others have said, once you arrive at the top, you are treated to a spacious flat with nice cool breezes in the evening. Kiwi, the resident cat, was very shy and made only a token appearance. He was very low maintenance. Nathalie was a great host. She greeted us upon arrival and had left several food stuffs for us to enjoy until we could make it to the nearby store. She also gave us great instructions on how to reach nearby specially stores and markets. About the only quirk I noticed was the toilet being at opposite end of the apartment to the shower and lav. Overall we had a great stay at Nathalie's place.
