Emma’s place is in the 15th District in the southwestern part of the city. It’s in a residential neighborhood with very close walking access to metro stations, restaurants, markets, pharmacies, and shopping. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower. I really liked the location because it felt like a typical Parisian neighborhood. The apartment itself was roomy and comfortable. It is on the top floor so be prepared to climb the stairs all the way up. There’s a tiny elevator that fits one piece of luggage at a time, so this is a bit of a constraint, but I think it’s pretty typical of old buildings. There’s a terrace and rooftop views of the city.
Emma was a wonderful host. Very accommodating and helpful. Although I didn’t meet her, she was easy to reach and communicate with. All in all, it was a great stay!
