Isabelle is very attentive, she quickly replied to all our messages. She was nice enough to help us out with arranging an airport pick up for a small fee. However, once we arrived we noticed the wifi was terribly slow. You log onto a free wifi network and an account has already been created. You have to log on each time you disconnect (even iPhone users). The whole apartment smells like cigarette smoke. We bought febreeze because it was intolerable. There were no candles or any kind of air freshener. There was no hand soap in the bathroom, we used dish soap that was under the sink. There is the number 8 metro nearby (5 min walk). The closest tourist location is plaça de la republique, which is where the metros stop. The eiffel tower is about 35 min by train with one transfer. Placa de la republique has a lot of restaurants. The apartment is near the canal, just around the corner where many people go to dinner or a bar. The apartment is small for 3 people. It wasn't the cleanest, we found candy under the bed. The shower and toilet still had hair from the previous guests. That being said, we booked this place on our last minute vacation. If you don't mind cigarette smoke and some dust, then this place is a great bargain for you. However, if your standards are a little higher and you're looking for a comfortable and clean place you should keep looking.
