The apartment was just as it looked in the listing - bright, large, modern, uncluttered, very clean. Fred met us (two couples) and helped us move in, explained everything very clearly, was available on the phone for queries, and booked a car to the airport for us at the end of our stay. The location was just as described, a quiet street near the Luxembourg gardens, with bistros, cafes and grocery stores very close. We had a wonderful week. The only surprise in the apartment was that while both bedrooms had an ensuite bathroom, one was lacking a toilet -- the second toilet being down the hall next to the kitchen. The kitchen was small but modern and adequate for the few meals besides breakfast that we prepared there.
