Maria De Lourdes was a very friendly and accommodating host. She also responded quickly to any questions I had leading up to our arrival.
She met us at the metro station and walked us back to the apartment. The metro station is a quick walk from the apartment, but you didn't hear any metro noise from the apartment itself. She was super helpful answering all of our questions: from which restaurants to eat at to where to see the best Christmas lights. The apartment is only a 10-15 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower and very close to many cafes, restaurants and bars.
We felt like we got to experience the Parisian food/culture in this location--it wasn't a touristy area, but was close to the tourist must-sees or just a quick metro ride away. We always felt safe in this area.
I highly recommend Maria and her apartment for her hospitality, willingness to work with our schedule, cleanliness of the apartment and location of the apartment.
