We highly recommend both the apartment and Francoise! The communication beforehand was excellent, with clear directions for getting to the apartment and warm, welcoming exchanges via email. The check-in was easy, and the apartment is even more beautiful than the pictures (what looked to me like a wall of mirrors behind the couch are glass panels between living room and kitchen, making it bright and airy.) The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped, with high-end appliances and a washing machine. Lots of storage, beautiful bathroom and bedroom. Huge windows throughout that open. The view (of Paris rooftops and the Arenes de Lutece directly across the street) is beautiful (although you must not have any fear of heights to glimpse a view of the very top of the Eiffel Tower at the far end of the balcony!) Very close to a metro exit, easy walk to Rue Monge and Mouftard, a block away from Jardin des Plantes. Very friendly interactions with Francoise' housekeeper, daughter and grandson : ) Hope to be back someday! Merci, Francoise!
