What a lovely apartment! Evelyne was there to greet us and explain everything in detail. We wanted to practice our French, and she was so nice to explain things simply and patiently. Everything was very nice in the apartment and it was clear Evelyn took special care to decorate the place with paintings and small statues, even upstairs! It was difficult to bend low around the upstairs beams, but we laughed at ourselves, crawling or bending to reach the cute loft-like area with the bed. It was cozy up there, like a tree house, with mirrors to expand the feeling of the space. And we looked out the skylight every morning and evening to see the Eiffel Tower. I didn't mind walking up the 3 flights of wooden stairs from the outside. You can turn on the hall lights when you go up at night. But watch out for the cat that rests on the stairs. One time it tried to slip in the door. --Such a beautiful old building. The neighborhood was great with lots of international restaurants nearby. The metro was close and 3 lines, so that was very convenient, too. We had a great 6-night stay. Merci, Evelyne!
