We had a wonderful stay at Lucie's apartment. It was even more spacious than the pictures suggested. With a family of four, including a 20 year-old and 17-year old, it was great that we could all have our own space. The decorations in the apartment are very nice. If you ever got stuck in Paris with bad weather, there are enough books and CDs to last you a year (if you read french). The showers were especially nice with both a rainfall shower & removable shower head. One bathroom was a full bath & included a tub. There was a separate toilet room with sink & then another very large bathroom with 2 sinks, a shower, washer & dryer, and roll-out ironing board. The kitchen had all the modern appliances you would need with plenty of dishes & cooking items if needed. We always ate out, so didn't really use them.
The apartment was in a great location. It was a very quiet neighborhood, so we didn't hear any noise at night with the windows open. I was concerned about the apartment not having any air conditioning, but it was fine. There are fans in all the bedrooms and since the apartment is on the 5th floor, you get a nice breeze coming in at night. The temperature while we were in Paris was in the mid 80's. The apartment was also walking distance from metro stations & main roads with shops, cafes, etc.
I also have to say that Lucie far exceeded my expectations as a host. From the moment we booked the apartment she messaged me to ask if I wanted any advice on things to do in and around Paris. She helped me figure out how to book an overnight stay at Mont St. Michel (highly recommend) even going so far as figuring out the train & bus routes as well as calling the tourist office and arranging for an English speaking sunrise tour in Mont St. Michel Bay. We found out from our tour guide that the tour we went on is never usually offered to Americans who generally want a short-cut tour. He assumed Lucie was a friend of ours with the effort she went to in helping us arrange the tour. My only regret was that Lucie was vacationing at the same time and I could not meet her in person to thank her for making our trip so special. We would definitely stay at Lucie's apartment again.
