My daughter and I spent nine wonderful days in Paris and were thrilled to have Elodie's comfortable apartment to return to after our busy days. We had plenty of room to unpack and store our things away so that it felt more like home while we were there. The apartment is centrally located near a metro station and we easily navigated our way around nearly the whole city. There is a market just around the corner to pick up a few things for the room (right from the apartment, then first left to the end of the block to InterMarche on the corner). Isabelle was a great help in arranging a driver to and from the airport - she saved us from the ill-advised idea of taking the metro with all of our luggage - it was well worth the cost. It is a lively street with all the expected sounds of the city just outside the windows, it is quiet at night and this light sleeper didn't have any problems. There is a boulangerie close by and if you want to bring a simple dinner to the room after a long day, try Casse Noisette on the Ave de l'Opera', they have some delicious take away in the back. In all I would recommend this lovely apartment for any trip to Paris, my daughter and I will be returning!
