La Vie est Belle was a great place to stay and Helene was a wonderful, thoughtful host. The apartment was perfect for us - spacious, spotlessly clean and incredibly well equipped (there were even aprons and cookbooks in the kitchen, DVDs for the kids to watch, and boxes of kleenex in every room!) There were also some really lovely touches like a bowl of little chocolates and a hand-written welcome note. La Vie est Belle was a perfect refuge for a quiet get away and yet super convenient to just about anything we could have wanted. Amazing walk score with lovely shops, cafes and restaurants (for take-out right now) right around the corner.
