You have to be adept at living in a small space. If you are, this place is a dream. It's a comfortable, tidy, welcoming space in a wonderful quiet neighborhood. There are two grocery stores on the block—one conventional, one organic— as well as a fruit and vegetable market and a late-night corner market. There's Luco, an excellent brasserie, right next door (I found myself daydreaming about their breakfasts), Indian food across the street, Chinese and crepes around the corner, a wonderful Italian place (Fuxia) nearby. And of course there's Luxembourg gardens on one side of the apartment and the garden that your window looks upon on the other side. In the morning the sun rises over that garden, the church bells ring across it, a fountain splashes among the flowering trees. Anne-François is a delightful and helpful host. I lived in this apartment for two weeks while covering the Paris Climate Conference for Forbes, and the experience could not have been lovelier. The RER Luxembourg stop is right outside the front door, really, so you can be anywhere in Paris very fast. Buy yourself a Navigo pass for unlimited rides on the train, bus and Metro. There's also a Velib bikesharing station on the corner—very inexpensive, easy to use, and fun! Living in this little studio I realized I don't need all the space and all the stuff I have at home. I could get rid of it all, except the cat, and live here in Paris. A dream.
