Our stay at Mr. Ecorcheville was very very pleasant. The apartment is indeed quiet and the location is perfect. The welcome treats and initial information was delightful. Gilles was always at reach by phone, if we needed something. Coming from the relaxed rhythm of Provence, we really felt the city's agitation and excitement in contrast. So, it was really nice to go back to "our" silent nest every night. The apartment is cozy, beautifully decorated, truly spacious (comparing to Paris standards), with excellent maintenance.
I can say that staying there, and being able to feel a little more closely what it's like to be a Parisienne was something I longed for, after reading Muriel Barbery's book L'Élégance du hérisson. By the way, Rue de Grenelle, where the novel takes place, is nearby.
I wish to go back soon and will definitively try to stay at Gille's lovely apartment again.
