Words can't describe how helpful and accommodating Amelie was with us. I arrived at 11:30pm in Paris and Francoise was traveling but she left her daughter in charge of handing me the keys. She was there to greet me and show me around the apt at that late hour. Francoise had left us maps of the city, train maps and very clear instructions with the apartment. Amelie (her daughter) and I talked for over an hour about places to see, things to do while in the city. She was great even though it was close to one am. The apartment is in a great neighborhood with shops, supermarket, bistros right down the block and the train station about a block and a half away. Though you don't really need to take it. You can walk everywhere. The apartment because it's on the first floor has shutters on the doors so you need to make sure you put an alarm or you will sleep in because the room is very dark which is great for sleeping in but not if you want to get an early start to siteseeing ;) I went with my family and it was great to have a kitchen in the mornings for breakfast and for snacks. We didn't cook dinners but everything is there if you need it. The bathroom is renovated and spacious unlike most of the places I saw in the center of Paris. When I go back I plan on staying here again. I had an amazing experience and the location was ideal for everything I wanted to see. I had an issue the day I was leaving, I was unable to take my flight back and Amelie was such a great host. She had someone coming in that same day so I was unable to stay longer but she offered to keep my bags for me while I figured out what I was doing and offered her place for wifi which was extremely nice of her. I plan on staying here again in the near future, absolutely loved it here
