The flat is magnificent; large, well appointed, comfortable and QUIET. The garden is icing on the cake. The Metro is close, the local shops and restaurants are very nice, the people are extremely friendly and you can get by with little to no French (if you chose). If you do use a little French, they don't mind your bad accent. Veronique was a superb hostess; very friendly, helpful and gracious. Everything was wonderful. I would love to go back; this is really a 6 star hotel!
