Our nine days in Noelle's apartment in the Latin Quarter were perhaps the most delightful and restful vacation we've ever taken. This was our fifth trip to Paris, and the first with our teenaged children. From the moment we stepped into this apartment and met Noelle, we knew that we had made the right choice. This Hausmann era apartment was filled with original paintings and art books and fit our sensibilities perfectly. Big French windows opened onto a quiet street on one side, and a lovely courtyard on the other. In the mornings we brought back cheese and croissants and ate breakfast in the sunny kitchen, listening to the concert pianist next door practice. The location, for us, was ideal: one block from the Jardin du Luxembourg, and close to the brasseries and creperies of Montparnasse, the Catacombes and the Port Royal RER stop. Yet it felt private, quiet and away from the tourist fray. Highly recommended.
