I really enjoyed my stay at Elise's interesting apartment, which her mother, Zazie, let me into and offered support and advice, which was kind. It looks like the photos, so you do need to be interested in staying in a 17th (or 18th?) century building, which is so charming, and sleeping in a loft bed. It's so perfectly located, especially if you use a Velib (which I highly recommend) and it's surrounded by excellent bakeries, and there's even a super cool little bar, basically a door or two away. All Paris accommodation is expensive and this was good value. And all of these quirky older places are best to rest your head there, and explore the whole day long. You don't really want to be making meals at home in Paris, do you? Anyways, thanks Elise and Zazie for a lovely stay. It really suited me perfectly.
