If you are visiting Paris and want an ideal location with a fantastic place to stay, look no further, this is it. It is only a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower and the host is so accomodating you couldn't ask for more. Martine made out stay so easy and informative. This was our first time in Paris and she gave us perfect directions from the Metro stop (which is very close by) to her apartment. And the apartment is charming, just as the pictures show. So nice to have the kitchen, washing machine and so much more room than you are going to get in a hotel room. If we needed her for any information or whatever, she was easily available by email otherwise, we were left to our own. There are so many restaurants close by, grocery, bakery, etc. You couldn't ask for more.
