We had a great time at Elvire's place. The apartment is wonderful! It's tastefully furnished, with big windows and great light. The bed and the sofa are very comfortable, and the shower is great. We've found everything we needed in the kitchen and there is plenty of places to buy food around. We haven't met Elvire but she left us a letter and a very complet guide about her place and area. The comunication was easy and quick and Elvire's housekeeper was friendly and helpful.
The neighbourhood is absolutely wonderful if you want to feel as a local. There is a beautiful park - Martin Luther King - a few blocks from the apartment. You can walk easily to Parc Monceau also, another beatiful park. In fact, if you like to walk, Batignolles is your place. And if you don't like to walk the public transportation in the area is very good.
We've really enjoyed stay at Elvire's!
