We really liked this apartment! My daughter and I enjoyed our two week stay. It's as beautiful and clean as the pictures show! It's truly charming. Since the owners were out of town, her dad met us at the house. He was so kind and patient with us. We got to the apartment later than we had hoped but he waited and showed us around the apartment, gave us directions to the metro, and dropped us off at the grocery store nearby. The owners left a DVD that gave us lots of pertinent info (in French though). The bed was a bit uncomfortable to me, but my daughter didn't mind it. The water pressure in the shower was awesome! The metro is about a ten minute walk from the apartment, but there is a bus stop one street over that gets there quicker. The walk was tedious at times but we chose the apartment purposefully for the good exercise! The neighborhood is safe and we didn't have any problems walking home from the metro at night. The neighborhood is, however, kind of dirty. But then again, where we live, it's not common to leave garbage on the sidewalk for pick up. Walking down the street on garbage day was tough for us. Despite that, the home was an oasis and a lovely place to go to every night. We would definitely stay here again and thank the owners for giving us a lovely place to stay!
