First, my thanks to Lucie and Robert. What I needed most was a pied á terre for a few days in Paris and this served my purposes very well. Lucie and Robert were very warm hosts and welcomed me into their apartment near Gare d'Austerlitz. On the morning of my departure, I had to go scampering back to the apartment to get something I had forgotten. Though the hour was very early, I found Robert waiting at the door with the item I'd forgotten, apparently knowing that I would be right back. Very kind gesture! Merci Robert!

I would recommend this room for a single traveler who plans to spend most of his/her time out in the city, as there is not a lot of room to spread out. This is, after all, Lucie and Robert's small apartment and so every bit of it is in use. One fascinating detail is Robert's collection of mini-figures; a sci-fi/fantasy buff, his hobby, and obvious passion, is the painting and redesigning of armies of these miniature critters.

All in all, very nice people, who will do all they can to help you in your stay in Paris.
