Our host, Marie was very charming and helpful. We had a number of questions to ask her on arrival and she graciously responded to them all. Her apartment is charming, compact and perfect for 2 people. It is located near the Luxembourg Gardens in a lovely, safe neighborhood. In addition there is a small market and a very good patisserie adjacent to the building. There are 2 bus lines across the street from the building where you can make connections to all parts of Paris. Her husband, Pascal, also very nice, helped us with our luggage the day we left. I would highly recommend this apartment.
