Benedicte accomodated an early check-in which was appreciated because we had aome in early after a long flight. It was easy to find her apartment but you must call her on your telephone as there is no bell outside the exterior street door. The security is good, the apartment an old elegant Haussmann building typical of Paris with a few steps to enter from the foyer to what is the French first floor. There is street noise but not too bad when you close the front windows. There is no AC or fans and it was very hot and humid in late May, so we left the windows open at night in the rear bedrooms facing the inner garden (quiet). The bedding (comforters and quilts) were more suitable for winter so we slept without blankets. There is no closet, but there are drawers and a coat stand with a few hangers. Benedicte offers TV with extensive viewing choices and has a stereo with many CD's (we did not use these). She provided us with coffee and espresso makers which was apprciated. Benedicte offered a short tour of the neighborhood to show us stores and cafes which we appreciated. The 6th arrondissement is a great neighborhood and close to the Luxembourg Gardens, the Montparnesse Tower, transportation and historical sights. Lovely place which shows the love and caring of Benedicte for her home.
