Ines' apartment is extremely beautiful and clean. The location near the Tour Eiffel is quiet and very very safe. There are multiple metro stops a few minutes out the front door. Ines left a booklet of information for us about the surrounding area and the lovely farmers' market that occurs twice a week. Ines was accommodating and had her son let us in a few hours early than the regular check-in time as well. I do have a few gripes though... First, check-in was a little bit difficult, because Ines require that we call on the way from the airport so that her son could meet us and check us in to the apartment (this was not really self check-in...). Check-in would have been near impossible for a guest without access to an international phone. One thing that I did not expect was that Ines tried to communicate through the home phone at the apartment (most Americans do not even own a home phone, let alone would think to answer another person's private phone). It would have been nice if the host had asked what our preferred method of communication was during the stay instead of expecting we would answer the home phone. When Ines finally called our international number, it was a little upsetting that she called on Friday, informing us that our stay would end on Saturday, rather than the actual reservation time until Sunday. This was quickly cleared up, though, after a moment of mild panic when we looked at our receipt. One last note would be that Ines repeated over and over during our conversations that it was extremely difficult to find someone to check us in and out on Sundays. I find this odd, considering the host has the ability to block out dates that they do not wish guests to be staying at the apartment. I felt that the Sunday check-in and check-out wasn't really our issue, as she had allowed us to book those days. If she could not easily accommodate a Sunday check-in or check-out, she should not have let us book.
