Tres bien -- What a fabulous place!! If you want simple conveniences, a GREAT location that makes most of Paris walkable, and the feeling of being in the middle of a great neighborhood where the locals live/work/play, this place is it!
This was the first ever trip to Paris for my husband and I, and we loved the location (close to Louvre, D'Orsay, and L'Orangerie museums and Le Seine, walkable to major sights of Eiffel Tower, Rue Cler, Monmatre/Sacre Coeur) and the charm of the balcony (it was our end-of-day spot to wind down). Their were many conveniences close by (convenience store 1 block north, many, many cafes/bistros as well as the charming Passage de Choissuel). The bathroom was small but had everything in perfect working order (the shower was great, the towels were nice-sized, and a hair dryer was available for use) and the bed was comfortable.
We were fortunate that the temperatures were incredibly cool for the first week of July, otherwise we likely would have been uncomfortably warm at night. We had to sleep with the windows closed as there is steady traffic all hours (lots of motorcycles and early-morning street cleaners). There is no air conditioning and only a small fan to keep the air circulating. We used our eye masks and ear plugs to sleep. The bed was large and comfortable.
Special thanks to Isabelle for a fast and early check-in as well as her help in scheduling a driver for both our arrival and departure. My husband and I really appreciated her hospitality and suggestions for our trip.
We recommend Elodie's apartment to those that want an authentic Parisienne experience with the comforts of home. My husband and I loved coming back to the apartment and relaxing on the balcony at the end of each day.
Merci Beaucoup!!
