Raphaelle was really sweet and was there to greet us when we arrived. She was more than happy to recommend restaurants and answered any questions that we had. Her apartment is across from the Notre Dame de la Croix church and there's lots of little shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and easy access to the metro. We made good use of the bakery right down the street. We spent most of our time out but it was nice to come back to a quiet neighborhood. The apartment itself is on the fourth floor with no elevator, for those of you with bad knees. The only slight issue was the tiny shower so I wouldn't recommend the apartment if you are claustrophobic or a person on the larger side. This apartment isn't for someone that is expecting luxuriance accommodations but it's cozy and it gave us everything we needed in a nice neighborhood.
