Alice's place was located in great location (far enough from tourist areas to enjoy the local authentic Paris) and kept really clean. Amenities-wise, having a full kitchen and a washing machine is a huge bonus if you plan on staying longer than 3 days. If you like cats, you should definitely choose her place (it's super friendly (-: ) One thing- I struggled to use a key to open the door (maybe this type of lock is common in Europe but not in my area?) so hope next time the instruction is clearer.
