Eliane was a very gracious and responsive host. You can't beat the location! Close to the Notre Dame, Pantheon, Jardin des Plantes and Luxembourg Gardens, with so many shops, cafes, boulangeries, and fresh produce available. So great to pop down the stairs in the morning to grab a baguette and fresh fruit within 5 minutes. The atmosphere was very festive with all the universities nearby. The apartment was very clean and quiet, with no traffic noise. The stairs were not so bad, especially considering that since it was on top floor, the apartment was bright and had a charming rooftop territorial view. We would return in a heartbeat!
