Isabelle is an incredible host and the apartment was perfect. It is an eclectic escape from the typical classical Parisian flat - comfortable open spaces surrounded by windows and a terrace swathed in olive trees. The views are remarkable, waking up to an espresso and a view of the Notre Dame, or stepping out to glance over the endless rooftops. There is an extensive library of books ranging from art, travel, language, and architecture and plenty of room to relax and reflect. Isabelle was kind, communicative, and constantly available for our questions. This will be my first stop when I am venturing back through Paris.
