The garden that you see in Isabelle's picture is as lovely as it appears. I was there in June, and I spent much of my time working, reading, dining at her little table, while the birds sang and shrieked in the trees. In the middle of Paris. It was sublime. Even if you come when the weather is not so temperate, the apartment is large, spacious and full of sun from the immense front windows. The kitchen is very well equipped. The food shopping within about 400 yards is scarcely rivaled in Paris. The district is calm, with boulevards bisected by ancient streets. And Isabelle, who lives there when you don't, is eager to help.
