We had a great holiday staying in Elsa’s apartment. The apartment in itself was nicely decorated with well chosen objects and everything we needed. Good beds too! Quiet backyard and nice neighbours. The neighbourhood is not touristy at all, although it’s close to Père-Lachaise cemetery, but lively and friendly. Three grocery stores nearby, a street market on the boulevard twice a week and plenty of take-away places (Chinese, Turkish, Italian, North African…) Good public transport with about 30 minutes travel to the Latin Quarter, the Marais, Les Halles and Montmartre.
