We enjoyed our stay in Marie's apartment very much The location is great and there are many shops, restaurants and markets nearby. Rue Mouffetard has a market nearly every day and we enjoyed amazing oysters from the fishmonger. Marie's kitchen was certainly adequate to prepare simple meals, which we did. There is a fold down dining table in the living room as well as one in the kitchen. The apartment was spacious, and we never felt cramped.
We found that the bus service no. 67 which stops near Jussieu Metro was excellent as well as good value. It travels right through the centre of Paris to Pigalle area near Montmartre frequently. We used the bus a few times in preference to the trains, it is certainly easy to do.
Marie together with her husband were very caring hosts. Marie went out of her way to help us get a refund from the ticket machine at the Metro which failed to deliver tickets, only a receipt! Also Marie located an item we had been searching for to no avail and bought it for us. The week went very quickly and we were sad to say goodby to our friendly and thoughtful hosts. If I am fortunate enough to go to Paris again I would certainly stay at Marie's apartment.
