Linda's place looked exactly like the pictures. Linda's rep, Celine, was there to greet us. She's delightful. There was supposed to be a booklet on the table giving us all the instructions, but unfortunately there was only one page and it was difficult to figure out a few things. We contacted the office and they were able to help. The apartment is in a fantastic location with the Metro stop directly in front of the building. This a delightful neighborhood and anything you need is nearby. There is even a wonderful doctor on the second floor that makes house calls. The apartment is very spacious, warm and comfortable. You'll find great artwork on the walls, fascinating books on the bookshelves, a piano and a washer and dryer in the kitchen that turned out to be a lifesaver. The bedroom has a beautiful view of the rooftops in the neighborhood. It was a wonderful place to come home to after a long day exploring Paris. There were just a few issues for us. We're short and the shower was difficult to get into. A small step stool would be helpful. Note: There is a step up to the bedroom and a step up to the kitchen. I wouldn't recommend this apt for people with mobility problems. We felt the apartment was a very special place and would definitely return. It was truly a home away from home and I can't think of a better location to be in.
