Accommodation Owner
This guest was very pleasant, friendly, and easygoing. Our apartment is well kept and we make sure that it is very clean and the beds are made before each new arrival. Every year we make some improvements. This year (2007), we installed a new washer / dryer combo and a new couch.
Nov 22 2007We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment, not to mention the great location so near the Metro, train, bus station. The niece of the owners was very helpful and we looked forward to coming back to the apartment after many hours of walking Paris each day. Lorinda at your office was also a great help. It was a pleasure dealing with NY Habitat.
