Lea was such a great host. She responded in a timely manner and was very accommodating. There is a washer in the apartment but you must hang dry your clothes. The location is perfect with a quick 5 minute walk to the metro and 20 min walk to the Eiffel tower and I must say i felt safe the entire time in the area. The neighbors in the building are very nice and friendly. The location is in the middle of a shopping area so you have many local shops for your every day needs from groceries to clothing and restaurants down the street. the one thing I would advise is you must get used to the weather because there is no ac and fan in the airbnb.
