Christine was absolutely lovely and this apartment is in a great location. It is a steep climb, but it's a great space and was a comfortable homey place to come back to. We were able to head out each day, pick up our patisseries (Josephine Bakery and Laduree around the corner) and see the very nearby museums. By the way, the RER station is on Rue de Lille at the Musee d'Orsay, the entry along the Seine is closed (fooled us). The beds were comfortable and the shower was full sized and always hot. Everything you need for cooking as much as one should on vacation is here. The neighbors were quiet when it was important to be. We enjoyed our stay very much!

One more pointer: if you are planning to buy a Paris Museum Pass (and you should!) at the Tabac/LA CIVETTE DU CARROUSEL in the mall in front of/under the Louvre, they only accept cash in Euros. Then you go up to the pyramid and enter the express line. Or I guess mail order ahead of time as I wish we had!
