Alice was a wonderful host! We arrived a little earlier than anticipated so the apartment was not yet ready but she welcomed us in to drop off our luggage and gave us helpful suggestions for lunch. She was also kind enough to give us a short tour of her (next door) apt which had a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower. She checked in to make sure we had ample toiletry items such as clean towels and toilet paper. The location of the apartment was within a short walking distance to the metro and bus stops as well as numerous grocery marts, cafes and restaurants. Alice gave us a run down of appliances in the apartment which was very helpful. The balcony provided a beautiful backdrop for coffee and breakfast daily. We didn't have any difficulties falling asleep at night since it's set away from the street. We would definitely stay here again! My husband also met Alice's parents whom he said were very sweet and lent us large grocery bags for our stay. Thanks so much, Alice!
