My family of four (my wife and 2 young daughters) just returned to the states last night. The apartment was fantastic... modern, charming and meticulously clean. It was quite spacious and well furnished. Perfect location about 50 yards from a Metro stop and a very close walk to bakeries, restaurants, wine stores, pharmacy, grocery... you name it. There is an incredible outdoor market about a block away that is open Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Beautiful meats, cheeses, fish, olives, nuts etc. Communication with Laurence and her brother Jeremie went very smoothly. They both speak English and were very pleasant. I have nothing but great things to say about our stay and experience.
