The flat is really beautiful and everything is quite new and modern. The interior and the furniture made the whole place very cozy and you really feel like home there. Also, when we came in, everything was ready, the bed was made and Maria had even wrote a little message and had placed guides for the metro on the table. If you leave out the eiffel tower then almost all of our activities (thrift shops, modern museums, restaurants) were close and easy to reach from Maria's place, she even recommended some nearby restaurants and bakeries. In general this really was the perfect place to stay in Paris and we couldn't have wished for a better host than Maria.
