Maria & Oliver waited for us at the tube stop, brought us up to her apartment to put our stuff & gave us really in-depth overview of major attractions in Paris, best way to get there ect. They also recommended food places & walked us to one of their regular restaurant, sat & translated the menu with us. The neighborhood is quiet & really convenient to get to all the major attractions which are within 30mins away by tube. Washing machine is in the apartment so no hassle to bring laundry down (or up) to some laundry room & fumble with coins. No dryer but there's a small clothes rack & hangers provided so we can easily hang clothes to dry.
