We were welcomed by the housekeeper who was very gracious. Marie came by later to greet us. Marie is a delightful host and very accommodating. The apartment is in an ideal location and a great place for our exploration of Paris. The bus stop is a few feet from the entry and the metro across the street. The apartment is charming and we loved the balcony. We slept with the windows open every night. I would highly recommend this apartment, so much better than a hotel room. Having Luxemburg gardens across the street was an added bonus. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was great having a washing machine. If we get back to Paris, I would rent this apartment again.
