We loved staying in Isabelle's apartment - it was beautiful, spacious and brilliantly positioned in a great part of town, with access to lots of public transport almost on the doorstep.

When we arrived they were there to welcome us, and had provided us with some bread, cheese and wine - making us feel at home right away. The flat was excellently stocked with towels and loo paper, and essentials.

We have two small boys and they loved running around the apartment and lying on the floor watching movies from Isabelle's amazing DVD collection on the pull down screen in the living area.
