It was easy to contact the host. She was really flexible and allowed us to do late check out. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the Eiffel tower which made it great to catch the hop on bus tour. Or you can also take the metro which is right across the st. The beds were comfortable. The entrance is independent and the apartment is on the first floor. The host made sure we had essentials. It was perfect. One thing to keep in mind is that there are stairs going down to the kitchen. We had no problem whatsoever. Book your stay! You will not regret.
