We found the apartment as described by Marie in a quiet part of town with 3 bus stops across the street and the train, which is like the metro but with fewer stops, only steps away. We loved the buses because you could see the area while you were traveling through the city and didn't have to race up and down the many stairs of the metro. There is a convenience mkt. right next door and a bakery on the other side. There are many restaurants in the area and the apartment is walking distance from the Luxembourg Gardens.
Mastering the keys and the entrance to the building was easy. The lift, though small, was adequate and the building was very quiet. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and one of us slept on the sofa in the living room which was also comfortable. There were more than enough sheets and towels for our stay. The kitchen had all the equipment that a visitor would need including a dishwasher. The clothes washer was a convenience and items could either be dried on a drying rack or taken to the nearby Laundromat to dry. The bathroom was small but clean and adequate with a window for ventilation. The floor to ceiling French window in the salon and the bedroom were a plus. There were enough spaces to hang clothing and shelves to hold folded clothes and a closet to place our suitcases. The wide screen TV in the living room got a great picture but there were only French programs.
We were very happy here and would stay here again.
