Christine warmly welcomed us when we arrived from the airport, showed us all around the apartment and quite frankly made our welcome to Paris very enjoyable and smooth. She went to extra lengths to make sure we knew how to operate the showers, hot water heater, elevator, etc. The apartment was exactly as advertised, very spacious -- plenty of room for the 5 of us -- and the location could not be topped. We were able to walk to different parts of the city every day and got a very good feel for the beautiful city. She met us in time for our departure, insisted on taking the garbage out for us and then even gave us tips on the best route to the train station, with the added bonus of giving the exact time for arrival of the bus and then giving us bus tickets to the train station. I can not say enough kind things about Christine and our whole experience. She and the apartment are simply lovely.
