Astrid is a great hostess. Young, lively, professional and very helpful. Always eager to help. The same goes to her sister, Clemence, although our contact with her was much shorter.
The location is great. Calm, quiet and very dark (at night with the shutters down) so one can have a a great rest. Rue Broca is at the very border of the 5th arrondissement, which is also very nice. In 20 minutes one can walk from there through the Parthenon and down to the Jardin de Luxembourg, which is very nice walk and garden.
The apt. is larger than most in Paris and well appointed. Nice decoration and most all appliances one may need, except for a clothes dryer which would be very helpful, specially in the wet or cold season. The clothes hanger that exists is nice but without helpful weather it may take 2 or up to 3 days for larger pieces of clothing to dry properly.
There is a supermarket and a pharmacy in front of the apt. which is nice.
The Metro line 7, Gobelin station is a 5 minutes walk away and very convenient.
And last, but not least, Rua Moffetard is a 10 minutes walk away, and is very colorful and nice.
In short, I would highly recommend both the place and the people.
