My husband and I, had the most fantastic time staying at Isabelle's apartment in Saint Germain des Pres. Isabelle was away on holidays, but her lovely parents, Hubert and Christiane, greeted us and explained everything about the apartment, it's facilities, and the area, and provided us with tourism brochures, maps, guides, and restaurant suggestions. And, they gave us a complimentary bottle of chilled wine and biscuits as a lovely welcome. Both Isabelle and Hubert were available by phone at any time, but we didn't need to call them. The apartment is gorgeous, very Parisian, light and airy (you can open the lovely big French windows (which are double-glazed) that face out to the street with cafes far below), the kitchen and bathroom are newly renovated, the main living/dining/kitchen area is very spacious, the bedroom (although small) is near the back of the apartment and very peaceful. We also felt very secure because the apartment is on the 4th floor (5th floor in English terms) of a 17th century building, and you need security codes and keys to get through the front doors and gates etc. Be prepared to walk up and down the spiral staircase each day - it's great exercise after enjoying all the wine, fromages and baguettes! Thank you so much Isabelle for opening up your wonderful Parisian apartment to us. We highly recommend Isabelle's place. Diana and Danny, Melbourne
