Elisa's apartment was absolutely perfect. Lots of Paris rentals are cramped, but her kitchen and social areas were open-plan and felt spacious. The appliances were updated and easy to use. She arranged for friendly greeters to meet us at both check-in and check-out, and both were helpful in scheduling the rendezvous. The apartment is on an impasse, so very little traffic, and it is literally steps from the metro just around the corner. There is a supermarket very close, and also a wonderful bakery. The neighbors were friendly and helpful. My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Elisa's apartment and would go back there any time.
