Arriving in Paris on a warm night in early summer, Isabelle's apartment is located in a lovely neighborhood with bars and restaurants nearby. Her friends welcomed me, assisting me with my suitcase up four flights of stairs, for which I was extremely grateful... thankyou! The windows were open, lamps lit up the beautiful wooden floor, and a glass of wine awaited me. The bedroom painted soft green is gorgeous, the bed and pillows comfortable with lovely white bed-linen and a private window that can be left open at night opens onto a central courtyard . The bathroom had a bath and good shower and contained a washing machine and mini clothes line. The aqua-blue kitchen is well-equipped; the fridge contained a bottle of wine as well as cheese and fruit for breakfast, generously left for us by Isabelle. The living-room contains couches and chairs, a very Parisian lamp, and windows that open onto the street, which we left open, yet the apartment was surprisingly quiet at night. There is an adjoining room with a lovely old desk, and an extendable dining table (we had dinner for four one evening having purchased local produce during a food-lovers tour that was a lovely alternative to dining out). The photos are accurate, but a nice surprise is that the apartment is a little larger than we had expected for this location. The cost was moderately steep but reasonable for a delightful apartment with lots of amenities and extra little touches provided by Isabelle, in a central location. We will certainly come back and stay here again..... but will bring a lighter suitcase!
