Well, Alienor's place was wonderful! We had heavy suitcases and we took care to put only one at a time in the elevator. The place was small, but a perfect size for us. The bed was comfortable--and there was a tub! Voila! The area is right across the street from the metro, and you could see it from the window, but the building has such thick walls that it is perfectly quiet inside! We loved it and we wish we had booked it for our 2nd stay in Paris but we got another place unfortunately. It is a very safe, quiet area, with access to everything--just big enough. Alienor has taken care to get a wonderful housekeeper, and the place is perfectly clean and well appointed. We did not get to meet Alienor, but she had a contact person--we did not need him. It was smooth sailing all the way. Enjoy Paris! We did!
