We spent a wonderful 4 nights at this lovely flat. During the days leading up to our arrival, Anne was quick to answer my many questions. They accommodated our request for an early check-in and late check-out. I’m quite sure the early check-in was an inconvenience for them as Anne was out of town and Philippe had to carve out time to meet us in the middle of his workday. Yet he was still informative and friendly and even carried my luggage to the bedroom.

The flat itself is exactly as pictured…very bright and comfortable with plenty of room for our family of 5. My kids loved being in a home rather than a hotel, and it was nice for them to have some toys to play with while we were there. The flat is situated on a private, gated alley just steps away from rue des Martyrs and close to metros that took us most anywhere in the city with at most 1 transfer. It is also nice to just stay in the neighborhood which felt like the quintessential Parisian quartier. We really enjoyed our stay.

One word of warning...while it is a family house, there are certain "don't touch/beware" areas (i.e. fine fabrics in living room/absorbent countertops in kitchen). I gave my kids a list of rules at the outset, and it was fine. But it was something I was always looking out for with them.
