Beautiful home with tons of character. Incredibly well located for the Metro, with all the supermarkets, bars, restuarants, grocers and boulangers you will need just around the corner. Yet in a quiet cobbled lane away from any street noise
Antoinette and her housekeeper Rosa are very helpful and always on hand should you need them (even in an emergency). They have provided full house guides though these need a slight updating for the new TV. The kitchen and bathrooms are lovely and well equipped and have everything you will need. Seating areas are plentiful and comfortable as well. Beds are comfy and we all slept well, though one room didn't seem to have curtains. There are DVD's for the kids, but recommend that if you have movies on a laptop or tablet that you use the amazing screen and projector - though you will need to add the unusual casting app (not Google Chromecast).
The house would easily accommodate 11 people, however families with children below 5 years should be very careful to keep an eye on them, as stairs are steep and the attic space is only suitable for children over 10 years. The trapdoor and the lack of a balustrade at the very top of the stairs is a real cause for concern for younger ones.
In the end we had a wonderful stay, only marred by the fact that one of the 8 year olds did fall down from the attic stairs and banged / gashed his head within 10 minutes of arriving. Antoinette and Rosa arranged an ambulance and made sure he got the right treatment and thankfully he was ok apart from a few stitches. Once we all managed to relax we were able to enjoy ourselves and do all the sightseeing we had planned
