Our hosts, Letitia and Bruno, were fantastic: warm, friendly, full of insider knowledge for the best shopping and restaurants in their neighourhood and other parts of Paris, and very quick to respond to messages. They made us feel like welcomed guests and were very well organized. They left a print out of essential information; consequently, we felt very well supported and that everything was anticipated to make our stay the best it could be.

The apartment is lovely and charming in a Parisian way with wood floors, high ceilings and decorative moldings. It has lots of good lighting, comfortable beds and linens, excellent storage, a very pretty and useful kitchen, and a good bath/shower. We used the laundry machine, which was helpful. I liked opening the tall windows in the living room and second bedroom for light and air; there is a bit of street noise on Blvd. Saint Germain, but not enough to be a problem.

The location is excellent -- central to shopping and restaurants of the 6th and 7th, a short walk to the Musée D'Orsay, and a quick hop over to the right bank to the Louvre and Tuileries. There were many good restaurants, bakeries (Gosselin was our favourite), and cafés one minute away, as well as excellent shopping.

All in all, a very charming, cozy, comfortable and immaculately maintained apartment, perfect for a family of 4. We felt very at home and looked forward to coming back to the apartment at the end of day. Thanks to our wonderful hosts!
