Had a fabulous time. The apartment is as lush and gorgeous as described and as the photos show. It is an old not modern apartment in all senses and well equipped. Lots of reading material if you speak French! The neighbourhood has several embassies and is lively in the week but quiet at the weekend and the fabulous Boulanger across the street is closed Saturday and Sunday. Good restaurants on rue de bac. We had a great time walking to most sites and enjoyed relaxing in the apartment on the one rainy day we had.
