Elise’s place is a great apartment with a perfect location, half a block from the Seine and the eastern end of the Île de Cité, and within an easy walk of the Maubert Mutualité metro stop. The place itself is charming, and though it’s not very big, its high ceilings make it seem spacious. Elise’s mom, Zazie, was my primary contact, and she was an incredibly gracious host who went out of her way to make sure everything was great. I stayed for a month and loved every minute of it! Next time I’m in Paris I definitely hope I’ll be able to stay there again.
