My family of four celebrated the Christmas holiday in Paris and had an amazing time. Each member of our family loved Anne's apartment and appreciated all of the amenities and special touches. The space was so beautiful and made it very easy for us to settle in immediately and commence holiday celebrations!
Location...
The apartment was located about one block from Luxembourg Gardens, making it easy to walk everywhere! The neighborhood was very safe and our two teenagers rented scooters and spent hours riding them all over the the city. Due to the pension strike, the Metro wasn't running, but we barely noticed since we enjoyed walking and exploring the city by foot.

The Apartment...
The apartment was a really beautiful space. It sits on the 2nd floor of building on a quiet side street and has stairs and an elevator that can be used. The apartment was large, especially in terms of 'the norm' in Paris and had plenty of space for our family to relax. It was beautifully decorated and had lots of special touches: a basket of firewood for the fireplace in the living room, a beautiful grand piano (that was in tune!), a bottle of wine, plenty of spices in the kitchen to cook with, a towel heater in the master bath, and more.
The apartment was very clean upon our arrival, and my husband and I found the bed in the master very comfortable to sleep in. The kitchen had every thing we needed to make a fantastic holiday feast. Our family of four navigated the single toilet without a problem.
Communication....
Anne was very responsive and helpful leading up to our visit, as well as during the visit. We really never had to reach out to her during our stay, but she did touch base a few days in to see how things were going.
Nearby...
Right in the same block as the apartment is an Eric Kayser bakery where we went every morning to pick up fresh bread and pastries. If you aren't familiar with Eric Kayser, he's one of the top bread makers in the city. Right next to the bakery was a great little restaurant with delicious food (try the bone marrow!) and a nice wine and beer list. Several grocery stores were also nearby, as well as florists, fish markets, wine and cheese shops...every thing you need!
