Isabelle was a great host! We arrived a later than expected due to delays at CDG airport and she was kind enough to wait for us. She showed us around the apartment and provided us with maps and ideas of restaurants in the area. The area was the perfect place to stay! Truly in the heart of Paris. Very lively neighborhood, great places to eat within steps from the apartment. Easy access to the Metro and Buses. While the neighborhood was lively, the apartment was quiet and quaint. The double pane windows kept any noise out. The apartment was perfect for our stay. The WiFi worked great! I cannot comment on the appliances since we did not use them. The apartment was stocked with adequate utensils, plates, glasses, cooking utensils and pots and pans. The only downside was that it was very hot in Paris while we were there and the apartment did not have A/C. We were aware of this prior to arriving and emailed Isabelle to ask if a fan could be provided. She was kind enough to have on waiting when we arrived. The only other downside was the limited space to store our suitcases and clothing. There was plenty of space to hang things up but limited space to store folded items. We would definitely recommend this apartment to friends and family in the future.
