Our experience with this apartment, and with Emmanuelle and her family as our hosts, was absolutely wonderful! The apartment is beautiful, and was the perfect home base for our week-long family stay in Paris. We were 9 adults and felt like everyone was able to have their own space (in the 4 bedrooms plus the sofabed in the office), but there was also plenty of room to spend time together, whether in the living room area, at the dining table, or in the fabulous kitchen. The washer/dryer were very useful and the piano is a beautiful touch. :) The surrounding neighborhood is not only picturesque but has everything you need, from the nearby metro to grocery stores, pharmacies, cafes/restaurants, and bakery/wine/cheese/butcher shops. Very highly recommended!
