Aurélien's family apartment was perfect for us (family of four, including two young children): the rooms are exactly as described with excellent beds, cooking equipment, two bathrooms and lots of toys - we particularly enjoyed the wooden train set and reading Peppa Pig in French!

The location is superb. We used the organic supermarket on Rue le Goff, the patisserie on Rue Saint-Jacques and really enjoyed ice creams from Amorino across the road. Jardin du Luxembourg is delightful: we watched 19th-Century dancing in the bandstand on Sunday afternoon, chased the toy boats around the pond and spent hours in the fun playground. You can walk to Notre-Dame and the Luxembourg metro station is very convenient for Gare du Nord and other connections around the city.

But most of all, Aurélien was brilliant at providing us with accommodation at such short notice. Another apartment fell-through the day before our arrival and he arranged for his cleaner to attend and to meet us when we arrived.

All in all it was a great trip and we'd love to return to Aurélien's apartment... thank you all.
