This was the perfect little apartment for a home base. The apartment was cozy and welcoming. There are several great spots for reading, writing, or sorting through pictures. There are amazing bakeries and cheese shops, and several grocery stores close by. The kitchen was efficient and easy to navigate, and the view from the window is classic Paris, which made cooking a delight. There's even a dishwasher so cleanup was a breeze. Several major tourist spots are within easy walking distance, and the metro is close by for anything farther away. Lucie was gracious and welcoming, and her global traveler vibe in the apartment was wonderful.
