There are several reasons I would recommend this place, starting with the fantastic view. It was such a pleasure to lean against the counter with a glass of wine and look out at the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre Coeur. The apartment itself is nicely laid out and tastefully decorated, so the whole thing felt like a really fun, Parisian escape. I also very much appreciated the hosting - Marianne was prompt and professional in her communications. When we had a problem with the water (an issue with the building, which I think may be a bit of an older structure as there was both pipe and elevator work going on when we were there), Marianne and her mother followed up *immediately* and kept in touch while following up with the building, and even offered a partial refund for any inconvenience. In terms of the location, I found it convenient -- near shops, restaurants, and a walk to several parks and the children's science museum. I also found that it was really helpful to have a hostel around the corner - they called a cab when we needed one and even printed out some tickets. My husband was less keen on the neighborhood; he didn't like the vibe and heard from a shopkeeper that there was a lot of crime in the area. So to each his own but I wanted to share his (different) viewpoint in case it is helpful for some travelers to do a bit of research first. But I was out and about with my six-year-old daughter and felt comfortable.
