What a perfect location and amazing place. It really allowed us to experience staying in the heart of Paris' Latin quarter as if we lived there, with a metro stop literally outside the front door, Maubert station. Being Japanese, we were amazed to find a Japanese grocery store nearby and a wonderful Japanese French restaurant call Restaurant AT a couple of blocks away. It was pricey, but lunch was more affordable. If you're interested in learning more: http://www.foodandwinegazette.com/?p=3783
We enjoyed the excellent cheese, meat and morning market right next to the building. The beds were very comfortable and my 76 year old mom was sleeping on the murphy bed. Isabelle's husband was very kind, texting my husband very detailed directions in real time after we arrived at the Airport. When we arrived at the apartment, the manager didn't speak English, but we were able to communicate fine using their detailed book, body language and hand gestures! The Kitchen and dining table were decent size for the three of us and it had a large refrigerator that was stocked with a few things, but should be restocked before you leave. It was nice to have a separate washer and dryer, as we are used to American laundry machines, we didn't know laundry takes more than three hours for the wash and dry. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place and we definitely will be back. Thank you so much Isabelle for providing such a wonderful place for us!
