We absolutely loved Elvire's place. It was stylish, bright, and located in exactly the kind of neighborhood we were seeking this time in Paris.
There were lots of terrific food options nearby, and the metro is less than 10 minutes away.
Having an elevator is something you really learn to appreciate in Paris. The last time we were there, we had to haul our luggage up five flights. Not here. The lift, though rather small, gets the job done.
Elvire is also a terrific host. Quick to respond, thoughtful, and courteous.
There is adequate storage space in her flat, and we appreciated that it's tastefully decorated in a way that doesn't make you feel like you're encroaching in someone else's space.
...and the bathroom! Fantastic shower, bordering on spa-like.
Being on the top floor of the building is also a nice advantage, allowing for lots of light and terrific views of the Parisian sunset.
