Isabelle gave us a warm and informative welcome - she speaks English very well. The apartment was lovely; clean, well-equipped, comfortable and quiet. The area felt very safe on a quiet side street but well-placed for Metro with a wonderful, twice-weekly street market just around the corner. Bakeries and small supermarket very close. There were no bad points and we looked forward to coming home to the apartment at the end of a long day's sightseeing.
