Our family (me, my wife and our two boys of 3 and 1 years old) stayed in Vanessa's apartment for 6 months, a period including the COVID-19 pandemic during which we felt particularly lucky to stay in this great apartment. We were very lucky that her apartment was still available when we searched for housing in Paris several months before our arrival. The apartment is very spacious for Parisian standards (large surface and high ceilings), very well-equipped, and it even has a little garden (with regular visits by a blackbird), which was like an oasis especially during the Corona-lockdown. In addition, the apartment has a little shed for the whole building, with more than enough room to put our two bikes. The neighbourhood is very dynamic and has a great authentic atmosphere (artists like Matisse and Giacometti had their studio's just around the corner) with lots of great boulangeries, restaurants, cafés and within walking distance of the Jardin du Luxembourg and Parc Montsouris (some of Paris' most beautiful parks, especially great to visit with young children). Contact with Vanessa was very pleasant: she answers within a day and makes sure everything works well in the apartment (for example: she sent someone to fix one of the door locks when it got broken). It is very clear that she takes the greatest care of her wonderful pied-à-terre in Paris. We are definitely coming back some time.
