I really cannot rave enough about this apartment! Isabelle was so very helpful in providing information and answering questions before our stay. Emmanuel was the most gracious host upon our arrival. He met us when we arrived, showed us around the apartment and then gave us an engaging tour of historical areas of interest in the neighborhood (who knew the original walls of Paris can be found in private parking garage down the street!). The apartment is gorgeous and has been meticulously renovated, adding a modern kitchen and bathrooms while respecting the historical character of the house. The apartment is also furnished with high quality furnishings and appliances, the kitchen was stocked with a bottle of champagne, fresh juices, water, apples, macrons, pistachios, and chocolates. There was also a maid service every other day. The apartment is centrally located, yet on a quiet street with amazing views of the Institute of France. This was SO much better than a 5 star hotel - really!
My family had the pleasure of staying in both this apartment and the historic mansion during our stay. Both are highly recommended.
