Isabelle's apartment is a perfect home base when in Paris. With a Boulangerie around the corner to supply your daily bread, the Place Monge market three days a week, and the individual shops along the Rue Mouffetard, a family can gather and eat well at either table within the apartment as much as you like. As well, there are a number of restaurants within 3-5 minutes of the apartment and Isabelle provided a satisfying list of recommendations (as well as warnings which were welcome and appreciated too). Isabelle also provides a map of the immediate area marking the location of the metro, the supermarkets, the hospital, and so on which is very useful and makes a visitor feel at home at once. As a family of five with three boys, we found the apartment ideal. We spent much of our days exploring on foot and by Metro and would return to the apartment to recharge before dinner. My sons have determined that we will return to Paris and stay at Isabelle's again. This is high praise from three astute critics with which we agree.
