Isabelle's apartment on Rue Gracieuse a block from Place Monge in the Latin Quarter is a wonderful place to stay. I have experience with other inexpensive Parisian apartments, and this one is head and shoulders above them. It is well appointed, it had the big and little things we needed to stay comfortably, and it is just plain well arranged, as opposed to some of the cosmic places that have no place to put your things, paint peeling on the ceiing, no shower curtain, appliances that don't work and no counter space to fix a meal. Isabelle's place is modern, not old, beat up and neglected. It is obvious Isabelle cares about the apartment and her guests.
