Isabelle's place is beautifully designed with incredible views--I have fallen in love with Parisian skies after staying here and having left, already miss this aspect. The apartment is small but very effectively laid-out on three floors which gives the im pression of size and variety of spaces. It is fully equipped for long stays and the location is an incredibly convenient one--a few blocks from a major train station and a daily walk on the Seine. It could not be more conducive to walking, reading, seeing all things in the city both short and long-term. Almost next door is the magnificent Jardin des Plantes, itself a major attraction.
