Zazie was very welcoming and accommodating. As an example, she made a special international call to us at the time of the booking to be sure we would be happy with the apartment. She speaks English very well which would make things easier for non-French speaking Americans and Brits. The apartment itself was clean, quiet and comfortable and we felt very safe both in the apartment and in the area. The thing we loved the most was the area in which it is located. It is less than half a mile from the Luxembourg Garden which provided us with a beautiful place to stroll and in the morning a good place to exercise. It is very close to the Metro 4 line which essentially puts all of Paris at your feet. Finally, wonderful food is available very close by to the apartment. The outdoor market on Blvd. Raspail (Tuesdays, Fridays and (organic) on Sundays) is just around the corner and lovely food of various sorts is available there even when we were there in December. There are at least 3 boulangeries/patisseries (bakeries) close to the apartment, including La Parisienne which won the prize this year for best baguette in Paris. There also are multiple other good quality general food stores as well as places where you one can buy pre-prepared food (traiteurs) that can be quickly heated up in the apartment's microwave oven. There are many restaurants very close by and Zazie was kind enough to provide us with a list of her favorites. We had a wonderful first dinner in Paris at Le Cherche-Midi and very nice lunch at Le Raspail (both a 2 minute walk from the apartment). Our best meal was at La Maison du Jardin which was a 7 minute walk from the apartment. Needless to say, we ate very well during our stay. For those so inclined, there is a food store literally around the corner from the apartment devoted exclusively to organic and gluten-free foods.
