SHORT VERSION: The greeting was excellent, the apartment was clean and well equipped and the location was superb!
LONGER VERSION: Isabelle and Bruno were delightful hosts, meeting us in person at the beginning of the trip and giving us a clear and comprehensive run down of all the facilities within the apartment and also around the area.
The apartment was well equipped with a massive TV (ideal for teenage guests), comfortable seating and even a piano for the two pianists in our family! With one 'chronically ill' member of the family we needed an apartment that was comfortable if one had to spend a prolonged time there. Our daughter was, indeed, very comfortable and felt safe and entertained on the few occasions we needed to leave her alone.
Many of the must-see attractions are within walking distance of the apartment and, being on the Rive Gauche, there are a myriad of high-end shops to look around. The famous Le Bon Marche is just a five-minute walk from the apartment and our daughters loved browsing around the department store, albeit nothing was in their price range ;-)
This was our daughters' first trip to Paris and our fifth, and probably our best so far. The comfort and location of the apartment were key factors in allowing us to enjoy our holiday so much!
Thank you, Isabelle and Bruno, for letting us stay.
