| My wife and I stayed in the Mona Lisa
apartment in June 2007. It exceeded our expectations. The Louvre is
across the street, diagonally, and the view is magnificent! The
Rivoli metro stop is directly across the street, and is usually not
very crowded. Gosselin boulangerie is located within one block at
125 Rue St. Honore. There is also a grocery store located about 2
blocks away on Rue du Louvre. There are many ATMs nearby, including
one next to the front door. For 2 people there is plenty of room in
the apartment. We ate breakfasts and 2 dinners in the cozy kitchen.
We walked to most attractions, and took TGV trains for daytrips to
Reims, Tours, and Bruges. We highly recommend the Acco-Dispo van
tour of the Loire chateaux beginning in Tours. The Blue Van airport
shuttle worked well for us, although the drivers were a bit manic. I
may use the RER next time. Thanks for a wonderful stay! |

| My wife and I stayed in the Mona Lisa
apartment in May 2007, for one week. The internet booking
arrangements and the ease of payment could not have been easier.
Isabelle's suggestion to take the BLUEvan shuttle bus from CDG
airport direct to the apartment (which I arranged via the internet)
worked well. The location of the Mona Lisa apartment is just
wonderful, with many Paris icons within easy walking distance, a
Batobus stop for Seine travel nearby, and the metro just across the
street for those longer journies. For a couple this apartment really
is a great place to stay, providing adequate cooking facilities yet
also being close to many good restaurants, theatres and markets. We
would certainly stay there again. |

We have stayed 2 times in Isabelle s
apartment, and we feel that Paris is really more lovely when you stay in
an apartment. Last time, in February 2006, we stayed at Louvre apartment:
wonderful place, excelent location, near supermarkets, subway, walking
distance to Orsay Museum, to Latin Quarter, Ile de la Cité, and to every
place in Paris, and what is even more important :we felt Paris in a
special way. Living those days in a real Parisian home, was the better
way to really feel Paris in our heart.
By the way , it was cheaper than a hotel, and Isabelle ,who is a
wonderful person, has a "tips book" with everthing you need to have a
fantastic stay in Paris.
Undoubtely for our next time in Europe we will contact her. |

| We spent New Year in the Mona Lisa
apartment and found it extremely convenient and a great base for
exploring our favourite city. Being Winter (& snowy!), it was wonderful
to have the Metro at the door and the Louvre opposite - we loved our
times in the Louvre when it was too cold to venture further. The
apartment is comfortable and very cosy with great views and even though
it is on the Rue de Rivoli, it was quiet. Isabelle was charming and
helpful and I will certainly recommend the apartment and look forward to
returning. |

| The flat was perfect position for us, able
to get to Louvre, Musées Carnavalet and Orsay, the latter on foot, and
we are 72!, plenty of resuarants around at choice of prices, Metro
outside door. Flat clean and well equipped, Isabelle is super and
answered all my queries, however stupid!! I would not hesitate to
reccomend her flats. |

guests who wrote recommendations at the guest book. Mola Lisa we hope
see you again!. From Málaga with Love.

We stayed in Isabelle's Mona Lisa apartment.
The location was tremendous right across from the Louvre with a Metro
stop right across the crosswalk from the front door.
We rented from Isabelle after having a problem with a different
apartment rented via the internet and were very pleased with how
everything worked out. I would not hesitate to use Isabelle again for an
apartment rental in the future. |

| I was a bit nervous about renting via the
internet, but found Isabelle's Louvre apartment to be exactly as
advertised - view and all! She met us as scheduled, briefed us
thoroughly and gave us wonderful tips to add to the enjoyment of our
trip. I'd surely rent from her again! |

My son and I stayed in Isabelle's apartment
in September. We felt so at home in the apartment. It was close to
everything. The metro stop is right across the street. The cafe at the
entrance was great for having a drink and watching the people go by. You
can see the Seine and the Louvre from your window.
It felt very safe because the entrance was on a lighted busy street. I
own a bed and breakfast in Tucson and I would recommend this apartment
to you. |

| We arrived back in Canada safe and sound,
our trip to France was very enjoyable. There are so many highlights, I
can't pick out one thing that was the absolute best. One thing Joey and
I agreed on was our trip to Arromanche and the Normandy landing beaches
was very very nice. We enjoyed Sabine's tour, and she was able to show
us so much more than we would have seen on our own or on a big bus tour.
Thanks again for allowing us to stay at your apartment. |

| We stayed in the Louvre apartment for a
week in late March. It was wonderful and we would not hesitate to highly
recomment it, Isabelle is a trustworthy individual. The apartment was
clean and decorated in a tasteful manner. We found it very centrally
located, and in easy walking distance of most anywhere we wanted to go.
Staying in this apartment, I believe, gave us a more 'authentic' Paris
experience. |

| My husband and I were at the Louvre apt in
early May and had a marvellous time .Isabelle's booking system
,directions etc were faultless and very reassuring. We LOVED the apt and
it's proximity to all the main Parisian landmarksand also eating places.
The view from the windows was fantastic and one of our favourite things
was to sit at the open window in the early evening ,or last thing at
night and have a drink while watching Paris go by . Having the apt was
SO much better than a hotel room with the convenience of the fridge ,washing
machine and being able to have breakfast/coffees etc when we wanted, and
CHEAPER too!!. We highly recommend it |

before and during our stay at the Louvre apartment. The location is
outstanding(and thank heavens for the lift!). We could easily use the
apartment throughout the day. And the washing machine helped us pack

I stayed at both Isabelle's Cannes and
Louvre apartments during January 2005 on a business trip. Each apartment
was fantastic, both in terms of location and comfort. I can't wait to
take my wife to the Louvre apartment on our next holiday together. The
booking and paying process with Isabelle over the internet was extremely
easy and trouble free. I
would recommend Isabelle and her apartments to anybody whether on a
business or a pleasure trip. |

My husband and I had one of the most
tremendous holidays in Paris, Sept, 2004, staying at Isabelle's
apartment. The location was perfect. The apartment was perfect - well
maintained and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better
accommodation in Paris and we absolutely will be going back to
Isabelle's apartment in Paris and have already recommended it to several
people. I can't imagine staying any place else in Paris. Plus we love
Isabelle who is so helpful and accommodating. We were thrilled with our
experience.

Bob & I rented the apartment in Cannes and
2 apts in Paris, the Effil Tower and the Lourve. They were both great
but we liked the convenience of the Lourve, with walking distance of all
sights. The Effil Tower apt is accessible by train to all sights except
the Effil Tower itself.
We bought resident passes for the trains using our passport picture
which were good for a week, I think. Ask Isabelle, she'll know. I think
we did about all of Paris, ate wonderful meals, the Latin Quarter is
inexpensive and the street food was great. We stayed in Paris and also
the Cannes apt. We rented a car for Cannes and traveled most of the
southern coast in France doing day trips. We also took a train to
Normandy and did a day
tour with Battlebus, which was great and stayed in a great bed and
breakfast.
Isabelle is very honest and fair and although we were apprehensive doing
business on the internet, it was great.

| Our stay in Isabelle's apartment was
wonderful. The location was exceptional. Close to museums, shops and the
subway and best of all close to great "walking" neighborhoods with food/flower
markets and outdoor cafes. We plan on returning for more vacations here.
The apartment was the perfect size for us and we made use of the kitchen
to prepare many meals. |
