The apartment is super charming and comfortable and we felt right at home. We even spent the rainy hours and the evenings lying on the couch watching all Poirot movies from the local dvd collection. The area is very much alive and all necessary infrastructure is nearby. Axel was always quick to answer my emails and provided many useful hints. That’s how we discovered the world’s biggest Monet collection. There are many restaurants in the neighborhood. We like spicy food and enjoyed the Sichuan kitchen of “0 d’attente” at the corner to Rue Lebrun.
