The hostess was amazing! the Apartment is located near two metro stops so it is easy to get around all of Paris . What we loved about the apartment is it is in a residential area. you get to experience true Parisian life rather than being in a typical tourist neighborhood. There are lost of cafes, restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The apartment had everything we needed. The hostess was so kind to even leave us a personal note upon arrival of restaurant and cafe suggestions in the area. She checked on us by email regularly to make sure everything was ok. I would greatly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice place to stay outside of the tourist chaos.
