The place is as shown in the pictures, really cosy and homely! Hortense was very responsive, accommodating, and an all around lovely host who made sure I felt comfortable and right at home. The 4th floor climb with my luggage wasn't great, but it sounds like a normal thing for apartments in Paris. May get a bit warm at the height of summer as there isn't an a/c, but leaving the window open while sleeping did help. Location is superb and the neighbourhood felt generally safe. Near the metro, and walkable to some tourist spots. Great value :)
