I went to Paris for a few days in July to see the fireworks on Bastille Day. Florence's description of her home's location was spot on-- it is steps away from the École Militaire which directly faces the Eiffel Tower (perfect for viewing the fireworks). To get to the Eiffel Tower itself is an approximately 10-15 min. walk.

Florence is very accommodating and on top of things- the bedroom she gives you in her apartment is a nice size. She provides a basic breakfast in the mornings even if she is not home, she will set it out. She definitely cares about the comfort of her guest and with the metro line 8 very close by, the rest of Paris is very easily accessible.
