Sara is an outstanding hostess-very communicative and very accommodating. Her place is in a convenient location to the metro, with a large grocery store, wonderful bakery and excellent restaurant nearby. The views of the Eiffel Tower in the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s A LOT closer than it looks in the photos, and watching the lights come on at the top of the hour from the apartment is a fun perk.
The place is clean, nicely decorated and appointed, and very secure.
As you’ve read in other reviews, it gets a little loud with traffic noise and people on the street, but it’s a big city, not a country retreat. We turned on the white noise with our phones and it was fine. Temps in the apartment were comfortable even when it was hot outside.
The elevator is small, and there are a fair number of steps up if you don’t take it, which could be a consideration for some, but we didn’t find it problematic.
Overall, it’s a great place to stay, made even better by Sara’s attention
