As a long-time Parisian now living in the United States who was in need of month-long housing in my native city, I found Elisabeth's two-room studio perfect in all respects! It is located in a lively yet tranquil and safe neighborhood in the appealing Left Bank’s 5th arrondissement—my favorite sector of the city—on the top (7th) floor of a secure building with elevator, within a block of three bus lines (21, 27, 91, with direct service to nearby Luxembourg Garden, as well as Notre Dame, The Louvre, etc.). It is also within a five-minute walk from the Censier-Daubenton metro station on line #7, but it might take you a bit longer to get there if you’re distracted along the way when you cross celebrated Rue Mouffetard and its mouth-watering food shops and elegant fashion stores, along with a well-stocked Franprix urban supermarket for general groceries (amazing what the French can pack in a small space!). To give you an idea of Rue Berthollet and its genuine Parisian flavor, next door to Elisabeth’s building on the right side is the unassuming four-star Marathana boutique hotel with its $474 per day rooms, and on the left a brightly-lit unusually welcoming…laundromat. There’s also a hardware store worth visiting across the street, and two boulangeries-pâtisseries within a block on either side, plus sundry other neighborhood shops and restaurants. Elisabeth’s studio has two large sunny French windows from which to lean out for great views down into the nearby streets or up over the Paris rooftops, and it features all necessary amenities, including a supremely comfortable double bed, reliable wifi, plenty of storage, fully equipped cooking facilities, a dishwasher and a washer-dryer, and a brand-new bathroom/toilet with a fantastic shower that can be modulated from hand-held spray to built-in, ceiling-high Niagara Falls. Elisabeth plans to rearrange the second room in her studio, and judging from the bathroom makeover, it will also be a very inviting space that can accomodate sleeping arrangements for a second or third person. I recommend her and her studio enthusiastically, whether for a brief stay or a longer visit.
