Evelyne was such a wonderful host. We missed our connecting train and were about an hour and half past our check in deadline and she was kind enough to wait for us. Communication with Evelyne was great, even though we had a language barrier. We spoke with hand gestures and google translator when we met lol. She is a wonderful host and had left water and some drinks in the fridge for us upon our stay, so very kind. She left a little binder of instructions and maps that she hand wrote and we thought that was also very kind. When we left, I forgot my hat and she was kind enough to contact us to tell us it was there.
The apartment: very comfortable, the layout was very nice and we felt right at home! The bedroom is upstairs and has a very low ceiling so just know that if you're tall, actually any one over 5 feet, you will have to duck when walking from the stair case to the actual bed. The apartment is on the the 3rd floor and there are no elevators, but we didn't mind because we ate so many baguettes - we found it quite necessary to get our steps in. : )
The neighborhood: perfect location. The neighborhood is nice and quite and feels super safe! You see everyone walking there dogs in the evening and the morning and everyone is very warm and welcoming. There is a supermarket right next to the building (to your right) - about a 1 minute walk. To the left you can find boulangeries, patisseries, restaurants, and lots of little shops ( about a 3 - 4 min walk). On the main street, Boulevard Grenelle, about a 4-5 min walk at most, is the metro and more restaurants and cafes. The metro on line 6 going towards Etoile - takes you to the eiffel tower - it is literally one stop, which means you could technically walk to the eiffel tower if you are up for it - but we came during winter and were cold so we took the metro instead. Also on line 6 going towards Nation you can go to the Louvre, Champs Elysee, and many many more Landmarks (this is about a 30 min metro ride) but much more affordable than Uber or a Taxi. Just FYI - for the Louvre you jump on the 6 heading towards Nation (which is the last stop) and hop off to grab line 1 heading towards La Defense - and you get off on Palais de Louvre and you literally walk out to the metro and straight into the Louvre.
All in all, her location was a great location as you feel like you are part of the locals and yet only a few mins away from all the main tourist areas.
Would I recommend her place to a friend, or come to it myself. YES. :) Great stay.
