Amazing location, great park views of the incredibly beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg across the street (hands down best park for kids I've ever seen anywhere, not to mention fabulous for a stroll and picnic).

Apartment is in a traditional building with a small elevator perfect for 2-3 people or heavy luggage. Comfortable, in a shabby chic way, antique/well-loved furnishings, comfortable bed (and very high bunk style loft for older child or sofa for younger child).

Gilbert accidentally locked himself out while trying to come down to welcome us and assist w/ luggage upon arrival. We enjoyed getting to know him a bit over a few glasses of wine at the lovely Italian bistro next door (FuXia) while his daughter brought a spare set of keys. He's a lovely man, retired attorney and expert on Paris.

We'd happily return again. Merci Gilbert
