Elise has a very unique place! If you want the whole Parisian experience, go for it. Be sure to read the description carefully for important info. What do I mean with "Parisian experience"? The building is old, and as many old buildings, it does not have an elevator. The apartment is on the 5th floor - if you have a lot of luggage, the multiple climbs can be pretty intense. As an old building, there are many details that some may consider annoying: the floors are a bit uneven and creaky, some of the paint has seen better days, the bathroom is tiny, the stove has only two burners, you have to walk sideways between the bed and desk to get to the far end of the bed, etc. One other important detail: the apartment is on the top floor, and it can get very hot during hot weather in Paris (the only fan in the apartment didn't work). Fortunately for us it cooled down at night and you can open opposite windows to create a draft. Elise has done a good job with decor, and personalizing her place - it feels very cozy and cute, very French too, with lots of very tasteful touches. The bed is comfortable, and the sofa bed in the living room is fine for children. The windows are new and open nicely. The oven is also new and worked great (and it was clean). Fridge is large for European standards. Internet worked well. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and it has a couple of supermarkets and a few very good bakeries at walking distance. The metro takes about 20 minutes to get to the downtown area. We enjoyed our time in the place!
