The apartment is charming, lovely, clean and in a great location (near an RER stop and Luxembourg Gardens). It is also very quiet, despite being on a busy street. The apartment is within walking distance to numerous restaurants, stores and bakeries. Everything needed for a comfortable stay is close by. The building felt very secure with the apartment on the 5th floor, accessed by an elevator. We never met our host, although she arranged for someone to open the apartment and give us the key. There were written instructions for most of what we needed to know. My only caution with this apartment is that it might be more suitable for someone who speaks French, as that's the language of anyone who would be of assistance. Beyond that, we were very comfortable and completely charmed by the place.
