The host was very responsive to our queries leading up to the check-in, but we never got to meet the host during check-in or check-out. She did give clear instructions on how to access the apartment. The apartment was in a great location and we were aware it was on the 6th floor from previous reviewers. The apartment was a great size for two people, but got a bit cold due to the weather in Paris. There are a few areas that require maintenance (leak in toilet, broken sockets & lights).
