First I want to say that Maria responded promptly to all emails and SMS. There were no issues with check in or check out. The apartment was comfortable, clean, bright, roomy, and very close to the Charles Michels metro station making it very easy to get to other arrondissements within minutes. The view of the Eiffel tower from the apartment was amazing. Almost every night we would sit at the table having wine and cheese and watching the tower when lighted and twinkling at times. The neighborhood was great and you’ll feel like a local staying here. We cannot wait to go back and hope to stay there again! Tip….first time going to Paris? Go online and study the Paris metro map and transportation system. The metro is inexpensive and very convenient.
