Francoise was a wonderful hostess. She was there to greet us when we arrived and had juices and muffins for us, which our children absolutely loved. The space was spacious for a Paris apartment and close to many restaurants and stores. The Eiffel tower was walking distance. The streets are noisy, but anywhere in Paris is noisy. Francoise had every necessity we needed and it was a great little apartment for our family of four. Highly recommend, if not for the space for the hospitality.
