Marie Alice was so kind and helpful during the booking process. She was wonderfully prompt in replying to my many messages before our stay. She sent us many helpful tips for travelling with our 5 year old daughter as well. She even left us a bottle of wine and fresh flowers. Her place has 3 bedrooms and to full bathrooms, very hard to find in Paris. She also has a washing machine, enabling us to do laundry as needed. There is no dryer so one must air-dry laundry but this was no problem for us whatsoever. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. The location is indeed a 10 minutes or less walk to the Eiffel Tower and easily accessible by metro to the rest of the city. The neighborhood also was fantastic. We found a wonderful boulangerie to visit each morning and a perfect grocery store within 2 blocks. My reason for giving only 4 stars is: Upon arrival, the apartment was not clean to our expectations. Marie Alice was out of town and I'm guessing whomever she left in charge simply did not clean as adequately as the host might have. We easily found cleaning products and tools and were able to clean the floors, etc. Additionally, one of the shower heads was defective (fell off during use and we had to piece it back together). That said, there was plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure.

Merci, Marie Alice, for letting us use your home.
