Isabelle's place is in a perfect location for exploring Paris. The street is incredibly quiet in a bustling area of town. We visited in August and did find that many local places were closed for vacation but even so there was plenty of restaurants and shops to go to within walking distance. The apartment itself is very clean and well organized. The bed is comfortable and the small kitchen is practical. The shower is a bit tight. The apartment is definitely a small space but it is perfect as a home base.
