We just spent a week at Isabelle's Mona Lisa apartment in Paris and had a wonderful stay. This is the second time we have stayed at this apartment, the first time being several years ago with our teenage daughter. The location is excellent (the view from the living room is the Louvre Museum); the accomodations are very clean, the bedroom is generous with a big closet and the bed is comfortable; the kitchen is very "French" and everything is provided (minus an oven) but there is a stove, microwave, coffee maker, refregerator, etc. We would not consider staying anywhere else in Paris we enjoy it so much!

The apartment exceeded our expectations - beside the excellent location - we received a warm, friendly welcome from Isabelle and she treated us as friends. She responded to our requests right away. The place is clean, bright and has all the amenities we needed, including supplies for the washer. The internet and Wi-Fi worked without a hitch. Well worth the price, highly recommend it.

My wife and l stayed in the Mona Lisa during January and had a fantastic time. Any thoughts of any problems with booking over the internet were put at ease with the prompt follow-up to any questions that we raised. Opening up the windows and resting on the window ledge with a drink (hot or alcoholic) watching the people and traffic go by was a wonderful thing to do first thing in the morning or at the end of a busy day exploring. We hope to return to Paris again soon and highly recommend Isabelle's apartment and service. Peter

Jay and I stayed at the Mona Lisa Apartment for 7 days. We had a fantastic time in Paris and this location was so close to everything, we walked everywhere! Paris is an amazing place and the best part at the end of a full day of adventure was coming back to a place more like home and not a hotel room. We booked our reservation via the internet and had no problems whatsoever. Heard from Isabelle almost immediately and all was arranged without concern. Thank you so much Isabelle and best wishes to you and your family for Christmas and New Year! We will definitely be recommending your apartment to friends! Kindest regards, Devi & Jay

First, I want to thank Isabelle for helping me plan our trip and making the process easy. The Mona Lisa was perfect for my husband, daughter and I. The apt. is cozy - 2 adults are best - but you can accommodate 3 or 4; comfortable, nicely decorated and it has all you need for a short or long stay. The #1 thing about this apartment is LOCATION! Across from the Louvre, close to Metro and many, many sites are within walking distance, or a short Metro ride. The ONLY drawback was that it was a bit noisy being right on Rue de Rivoli - but that sometimes contributed to the ambiance of the apt. One night at 1 a.m. people were shouting in the street because a local soccer team had won a match! Sort of like being at home when the Chicago Bears win :). Being on the top floor provided great views - but it was a hike up the stairs if you didn't want to take the teeny elevator typical of this type of building. I actually now feel this was part of the charm of the building. Also, some better lighting is needed in the hallways. All that being said, I would definitely rent from Isabelle again!

We stayed for 11 nights and enjoyed evrything about the apartment. Location is the best in Paris for sightseeing, museums etc. You can walk anywhere & Metro & RER trains are very handy. A little noisy at night if you like to sleep with open windows-otherwise "perfect". We would definitely return.

We had a wonderful time in Paris staying at the Mona Lisa apartment. The location was fabulous - we could walk or take the subway to everything, and the apartment was quaint and had everything we needed. The process to sign up and pay for the apartment was easy and we got exactly what we expected based on the website photos. Isabella was helpful when we requested restaurant recommendations and advise on the best way to get to the airport. We highly recommend the Mona Lisa and would work with Isabella again if she has another property in a location that we are visiting.

Narelle and I spent most of September 2009 in the Mona Lisa apartment. Great location, right in the heart of Paris. Stairs to Metro station (Louvre - Rivoli) are 20 metres from the front-door step. Isabelle does exist - she's not just a face on a brochure. We met her and she was very helpful and friendly and certainly organised everything as she promised. No trouble moving in at all and no hidden bad surprises. The apartment is small in an older-style building, but clean and cosy. It's on the top (6th) floor under the roof and can be accessed using the building's lift. All facilities you would expect in an apartment (washing machine, iron, utensils, etc.) are provided. The street traffic is a little noisy at times, but that's one of the charms of being in the centre. The view is just as good as the advertisement promises - fabulous!

I had a great 8 day stay in one of Isabelle's apartments in June of 2009. It worked out very easily with no problems. I plan to stay in one of her apartments on my next trip.
