I did not personally meet Maria, but her and her cousin who we met were very helpful and effective through the whole process. As for the apartment, it is in a quiet neighborhood, close to a metro station (5 minutes), and was incredibly well-suited for our needs. Besides the great view of the eiffel tower, it was very tidy, bright and trendy. The bathroom was very clean with a great shower that is equipped with towels. The eiffel tower is about a 15-20 minute walk. Overall, great experience and would highly recommend for a couple.
