Communication was excellent with the host. She wasn't able to meet us in person but Eva was there and even met us on the street at arrival. She explained all the utilities: washer, dishwasher, stovetop etc. I had recently broken my arm (unexpected accident) and she was kind enough to carry my smaller luggage up the 3 flights of stairs which was really helpful. The apartment is exactly as depicted in the photos. Plenty of towels, comfortable pillows, comfortable master bed and all the things you need in the kitchen. The host had also left coffee pods, tea and other basic necessities. Lots of cupboard space for unpacking and comfortable living area. Great neighborhood with lots of cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and 2 boulangeries close by. Short stroll to Marches des Enfants Rouges, as well as walking distance to Le Marais and Canal St Martin (2 of our families favorite areas) super close to metro stations and easy access around the city. Was a great flat for my husband, daughter and myself. Would recommend staying here and would stay here again. Thank you Eva and Barbara.
