Just got back from France and Italy with my adult sons, and staying at Brune's Paris apartment was the perfect start to our visit. Our travel guide immediately exclaimed "Oh, this is really a Parisian apartment experience!" and we all felt as if we did experience a slice of true Parisian life. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for meals, and everything was easy to use. There was a lift for luggage, but we enjoyed taking the stairs to work off all of the great French food and wine. We loved being on the main street, with quiet sleeping in the back. The little shop on the corner had heavenly pastries, and the apartment is near the Metro, the Bastille, and wonderful neighborhood restaurants and shops. Mrs. Andre doesn't speak English, but she was very friendly and we managed to communicate. My sons, 26 and 32, and I were very pleased with our experience here.
