Lucie's place is simply wonderful. It is just as charming as it looks in the photos, and has an incredibly warm, peaceful feel that is quite special. We stayed there for a couple of months and it really felt like a home away from home. Lucie was very incredibly responsive and accommodating, even though we never met in person, we found her to be a very kind and welcoming host. The apartment is very central- having the train and whole foods within a couple blocks is super convenient, of course there are tons of restaurants, shops, etc... and the community garden next door is a lovely feature. The 5 flights up is actually nice - as well as getting the exercise, it gives the feeling of being in a safe and cozy sanctuary, removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. The outdoor space and laundry in the basement is a rare bonus. Truly a delightful spot.
