As a family of five including 3 teenagers we were particularly impressed with the comfortable, light and spacious apartment. The open plan living/kitchen area enabled us to eat together as a family in the stylish yet homely environment, while the balcony allowed us to soak up the buzzing atmosphere of Montparnasse. It was well equipped with with everything we needed and more. The location could not have been better as a base for visiting the whole of Paris but at the same time allowing us to live like locals. We were given excellent recommendations for restaurants within a five minute radius. Shopping for food was a pleasant experience in the small local shops and the lively market. At the end of a busy day sightseeing and shopping we would happily relax in front of Mad Men box sets (which we couldn't get enough of!) Communication with Isabel and her family was friendly and efficient. We would thoroughly recommend this appartment to any family or group looking for a modern retreat in central Paris!
