We LOVED this apartment. It was only a block away from a Metro and also an express market. We utilized the kitchen and prepared a couple of dinners. There are also a few good restaurants within a block or two. Since all the tourist attractions are available by Metro, we loved the quiet area of this apartment location. We stayed 4 nights. But if we had stayed longer, we would have requested another set of bath towels. Also we would have needed more dishwashing detergent. We never met Elodie but the person who gave us the keys was very nice and accommodated out arrival and departure times. We would stay at one of Elodie's apartments again...but perhaps on a lower floor. There was another apartment on the second floor of the same building with a small balcony.
