Elise’s apartment was exactly as described: cozy, recently refurbished, and conveniently located near two metro stations and several bus stops. Faidherbe, in particular, offers many excellent cafés, bars, restaurants, boulangeries, and other shops, so if you’re feeling too lazy to travel far from the apartment, you’ll still have many things to do and places to see! Or, if you’re looking to be a tourist, most of Paris’s major attractions (Notre Dame, the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, etc.) are less than 30 min. away via the metro (and usually no more than one line transfer). The apartment itself is quite spacious for one or two people, and the décor is charming yet contemporary. I had no problems using the stove, oven, fridge, etc. As a host, moreover, Elise always made herself available, and, as a result, I never felt isolated. I had a fantastic three weeks in Paris, and I’d strongly recommend this apartment!
