The stay at Francine's apartment was comfortable and pleasant. Although Francine wasn't around locally, this did not present a problem for us as she would respond to messages relatively quickly or within a few hours at the most.
Check in/out was a breeze and flexible with the help of Francine's cleaner Settie, very personable and full of life, who explained to us entry and exit to the building, what is available nearby and provided a cheat sheet of info (wifi / contact numbers etc). The fridge was stocked with juices, coke zero, water and a fresh baguette.
The kitchen was well stocked with crockery, cutlery, pots and pans and appliances - fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, toaster etc. Couldn't fault it.
The apartment was clean and no doubt seemed like an apartment occupied by the host due to the personal effects which were on display, however, I liked this and didn't get put of by it as suggested by other reviews.
The living area was quite airy and could easily accommodate the 2 foldable beds. Worth pointing out that whilst the apartment is advertised as having air conditioning, this is limited to the bedroom only.
The apartment benefits from a balcony, which is accessible from the bedroom and living area through large sliding windows - each of which have metal shutters that can be lowered for privacy, security and shade. The bedroom does not have curtains that provide privacy, although being on the 4th floor this wasn't too much of a problem.
Whilst the windows were closed, you can hear traffic outside during the night, but this was down to a minimum and my family slept with no problems as the beds were comfy.
The area is very nice, clean and close to local amenities and metro station - 5/10 minutes away. It's a 20/30 minute walk to Eiffel Tower from the apartment.
Would definitely recommend staying at the apartment.
