Maria was a wonderful host. She was so easy to communicate with and she answered all of my questions. Her apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom looked like it was recently renovated. Me, my wife, and my 17 month old son felt right at home at Maria's. She provided us with plenty information including maps of Paris and the metro. Her apartment is so close to the metro, bakery and restaurants. There are multiple metro stations just walking distance. The Eiffel Tower was just 2 stops away. Every morning, I walked across the street to the boulangeie on the corner to get freshly baked croissants. There were 2 French restaurants around the corner as well that were both excellent. Staying at Maria's made my experience in Paris unforgettable. Paris is now my most favorite city in the entire world. Thank you, Maria!
