Our family of four spent a wonderful week in Solenne's beautiful, light-filled, and airy apartment. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos and if anything it is nicer, in part because of the hosts' interesting tastes in books and art. The building is very nice and we appreciated the old-fashioned lift to bring up our luggage and groceries. The beds are very comfortable! Solenne was out of town when we arrived, but her friend Karin met us at the apartment and gave us all the necessary information. And Solenne was always extremely responsive to any emails or questions, and she met us at the apartment when we checked out on our last day. We particularly appreciated Solenne's restaurant recommendations -- they were excellent, especially Cafe Constant and Pottoka. The area is lovely; it's nice to be so close to the Eiffel Tower and our kids liked the parks there. It was easy to catch the Batobus from the Eiffel Tower, which was a nice way to get around to the major sights. Although the area is less lively than places like the Marais and St. Germain, it is very easy to get to them via Metro or taxi or walking, and the area around the apartment did have its small share of lively restaurants and cafes. We would highly recommend Solenne's apartment.
