This was our first time to Paris for myself and mum and Marie's apartment was wonderful. It was a typical Parisian apartment. We felt like true Parisians for the 10 days that we stayed there. It was lovely to open the french doors and hear the street sounds from below drift up. The apartment was in an excellent location - opposite Luxembourg Gardens where there was lovely music over the weekends, bus stop directly outside the door and also opposite Luxembourg Station. Mum & I relied on public transport to get around Paris and it was very easy. Most importantly, the apartment was spotless when we arrived with plenty of spare towels and wardrobe space for our clothes. Marie was unable to meet us for check-in but she arranged for her housekeeper to meet us and this worked out very well. We felt very welcomed and everything was explained to us. We also felt safe as there was good security for the main entrance and internal doors. I thoroughly recommend this apartment when you visit Paris.
