We had the great pleasure of staying in Gilbert's and Maka's beautiful, sun-splashed apartment for the entire month of October. The apartment is beautiful, in what we consider to be a perfect location. We can recommend it without any reservation. Gilbert is a prompt and thoughtful communicator. The apartment really is lovely, with enormous windows looking out over the famous Medici Fountain in the Luxembourg Gardens. We had more than one meal on warm days outside on the small patio. The dimensions of the apartment are generous, especially the kitchen and master suite. Everything works well - from the elevator, to the WiFi, to the kitchen appliances. We have seen in previous comments some mention of the stall shower, which can leak somewhat on the floor. We found it easy to avoid this problem by simply moderating the water flow from the shower head. There's still plenty of pressure.
The neighborhood is fantastic. We loved the cafes on the street below, as well as the smaller mostly Asian restaurants along Rue Monsieur Le Prince, the street immediately behind the apartment building. We were in the Luxembourg Gardens daily, and it was a treat to be so close to such a beautiful, restful place.
Thank you, Gilbert and Maka, for sharing your wonderful apartment with us.
