We had a fabulous time staying at Emmanuelles apartment. She is the perfect hostess and made us feel completely welcome and at home. Not only did she meet us later in the evening as we had travelled all the way from New Zealand but she also supplied some basic amenities for us to keep us going until we could visit a boulangerie in the morning. When our luggage didn't arrive at the airport, Emmanuelle kindly communicated with the airline on our behalf and arranged to be around to accept the luggage when it was delivered the next day so that we could go sightseeing. Finally, she was so helpful when my daughter left her camera in the taxi on the day we left Paris ... Emmanuelle managed to track the driver down, find the camera and couriered it to us in the South of France! She really went out of her way to make our stay the very very best.

As for the apartment, it is simply gorgeous. A very Parisian experience with cafes literally on the doorstep, butcheries and bakeries just moments away. It is in a great location with really easy access to the Metro. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend this to any family considering a stay in Paris.
