Eloise's place is like a calm sanctuary in the middle of the busiest part of a city. It offered us an instant calm and peace after a day of walking in the city bustling with tourists and traffic.

Note that you are going to be right smack in the middle of the busiest part of the city, like being in Time Square in NYC or Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco. But the benefit is that you are steps away from where you want to go. The Lourve is literally across the street. You're 1/2 a block away from the Metro.

What makes Eloise's place special is that in the mist of all this bustle, you can instantly find calm once once you pass the doors that lead to her apartment.

We loved our stay because we had two kids and being able to instantly get to the tourist sites was a great benefit and time saver. We also loved it because it was on the first floor and we had grandparents who would not be able to climb up 3-4 stories without an elevator. Finally, we loved it because the apartment was so cozy and felt like our home away from home.
