Our stay in Helene's apartment was fantastic, one of the best airbnb experiences we have had either in the States or on our extended European trip. It is very clean, comfortable, organized, and provided with so many extras. It is literally 5 minutes walk from the metro, and super quiet, which we appreciated at the end of our long days of touring. We used the inexpensive washing machine in the basement complex, with laundry supplies thoughtfully provided by our hosts ( laundry basket & detergent, drying rack). Helene was gracious when she met us, even though we were hours later than we had planned. Highest recommendation for a super place!
