We (two couples with two children 4 and 7) just left Barbara's Paris house after a one week stay. The location of the house is perfect, easy walking distance to the subway, grocery, restaurants etc. Barbara was very easy to deal with and always answered emails promptly. Make sure you printout Barbara's "Guidebook for the house" as it has great recommendations for restaurants, groceries, open air markets etc. The house and courtyard are huge by Paris standards so there is lots of room to spread out. There are two and a half bathrooms and a playroom which are added bonuses. The kitchen is well stocked although we didn't do too much cooking. Every morning we walked to Pichard's bakery for fresh croissant, pain au chocolat and then back again in the evening for a baguette and desserts. My rule was no day-old bakery items while in Paris. There is a very good frozen food store called Picard's near the Vaugirard metro stop. They have a good selection of food at reasonable prices. The open air market is another great place to buy fresh products and is open three days per week. We spent several evenings on the patio having wine and cheese before dinner. If you have been to Paris before two things currently going on and worth a visit are the Edith Piaf exhibition and the Fondation Louis Vuitton (Frank Gehry building) with a current exhibition which includes Edvard The Scream. Thank you, Barbara, for everything.
