Lucie made me feel welcome, and she showed me everything I needed to know about the apartment, which is spacious and full of light. You can't beat the location--right near two Metro stops, a walk away from the Musee d'Orsay and too many restaurants to count. My favorite: Cafe Constant, on rue St. Dominique. But they don't take reservations, so go on the fringes of the busy times, or else you'll wait for a table.
