Our trip to Paris was wonderful.... And was made especially enjoyable due to Josephine's apartment. The apartment is very secure, extremely well maintained, full of little extras (like coffee, tea and butter and jam, soaps, shampoos, etc) and clean as a whistle! We loved the king size bed, as well as having a separate living room with pull out sofa, that we were not intending to use, but did when my husband caught some sort of respiratory virus and couldn't stop coughing at night. (The pharmacist right around the block was very helpful with cough syrup!) (and the pull out bed was very comfortable, not like the ones we remember from the 1970s!) Josephine arranged for Eric to pick us up from the airport as well as take us back when the vacation was over - highly recommend that convenience. The apartment is located in a great neighborhood in the 6th arr. There were so many shops and restaurants in the surrounding blocks, we never had to venture out far for a good meal in the evening. For sight-seeing we could walk to many of the places we wanted to see - or we could take the metro which is located right next the Le Bon Marche, two blocks from the apartment. When we would step off the metro in the late afternoon we would stop by Le Bon Marche for wine for that evening and breakfast pastries for the next morning. It was a perfect arrangement! And a great vacation in Paris!
