Overall, the apartment was close to restaurants, the metro and shops. It was not more than a 10 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower which was great! It felt like it was a part of the tourist hype, but secluded enough to not hear all the commotion. Communication prior to our arrival was great. Alexandre was prompt in his responses to my messages. Because of the way the checkin process was set up, it left someone waiting for us to exchange the keys. Since we didn't have an international plan and it was difficult to access wifi, we weren't able to notify the host immediately of our delay. This left the manager waiting. I think it would be helpful to have a backup plan in case this occurs for future visitors so that no one is kept waiting.
