Glad I did it
This apartment is actually lived in by the owner. So the walls are covered with books and pictures. Lovely fabrics and funky old lamps everywhere. Good kitchen with lots of pots, pans, dishes. Plenty of hot water, good shower. Great location on several bus lines. In short, a good find -- a "real" living space, unlike those personality-free boxes with the plastic stick furniture one so often finds on offer. The owner even arranged a reliable taxi for my early flight home. The 63 steps up to the apartment were doable (I'm 85). I also got used to the irregular floor levels. But getting all the way to the toilet at the other end of the apartment was a bit tricky at night. These are not deal breakers by any means, but things that people with disabilities might want to know about in advance.

True Paris living
How lucky were to find this gem. Perfect part of Paris with a most charming apartment. Full of charm, not a sterile rental. It is our host’s personal home and we felt like we “lived” there. We were to have this as our home in Paris. Would HIGHLY recommend!!!

Live like a Parisian
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this apartment. In addition to giving 5 stars to the normal ratings we appreciated the architecture, decor, wall to wall books and CDs. For us, the culture and style that one thinks of when thinking of Paris and Parisians came to life. We also loved the quiet street that was just around the corner from lively restaurants and easy subway access to the rest of Paris. Highly recommend!

Luxembourg garden
The location was excellent - only a short walk through the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens to the metro station. Bus stops for lines 82 and 83 are virtually outside the entrance. The apartment was well equipped with a full kitchen and washing/drier machine. Wifi was high speed and included. Host Christine was always available and met us on check-in to show us how to use all appliances.

Absolutely lovely stay
My son and I stayed here for 9 days (8 nights) and had the most lovely time. The location of Christine's apartment cannot be beat -- you can see the Jardin Luxembourg from the window and my son went running there several times during our stay. Super easy to walk to so much and also close to 2 different metro lines. The home felt very personal, which is what I was looking for with this stay -- when we returned "home" at the end of a day, we felt like we were in a home instead of just visiting. Christine was very responsive and welcoming. I've already recommended staying here to my in-laws who will be in Paris in 2023. Highly recommended and would be eager to stay here again in a future trip!

A great location one-half block from a Luxembourg Gardens gate in a delightful neighborhood with everything you need. The apartment offers a window into Parisian living, including the 3-floor walk-up. Great for burning off those croissant calories! Owner was responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

The location is excellent - adjacent to Luxembourg Garden, two blocks from Blvd. Montparnasse, and 20 minute walk to Blvd. St. Germain (maybe a little too far). Be forewarned however, which we were not until too late, there are three long flights of winding stairs to surmount. The apartment has a very well equipped kitchen of which, alas, we didn't take full use. There is a fine and very eclectic collection of varied music CDs and an overflowing of books (but in French). You are definitely in someone's (in this case an architect) well lived in home. Christine, the owner and wife of the aforementioned architect, was very helpful and prompt i greeting us in time as scheduled.

My husband and I spent 2 weeks in this lovely apartment. The location and ambiance was perfect.
Across the street from the glorious Luxembourg Gardens and central to all of Paris, this charming apartment felt just like a home. I would describe it as cluttered elegance. It is obviously a loved in space full of books and art objects. We were very comfortable and felt like natives. We will definitely return to this space.

My wife and I travel to Paris about 4 times a year for many years and our favorite is the 6th. Christine's apartment is in the perfect spot for visiting Luxembourg Gardens and the many excellent restaurants nearby. The amenities of the apartment are great, very modern kitchen, nice view to courtyard, excellent bathroom and spacious living room. Our host was very attentive to our needs and responded quickly to questions we later had. We highly recommend her apartment! One of the best we have stayed in.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location but unit is old and cluttered and uncomfortable.
Pros: Apartment is located right next to Luxembourg Gardens on a pretty quiet street. Unit is 4 floors up ( 3rd floor...American 4th floor) so we felt safe having the windows open for air. Building has key/codes to get in the main door and into the stairwell that leads to the apartment. Added to security feel. Cons: Your view is of the complex courtyard and then the street. You can see the gate to Luxembourg Gardens from the front window if you stand and look right. But basically no view from this apartment. Also......the apartment is very old and cluttered. The furniture has holes in the leather so the only place to sit is on the couch. The shelves are filled with papers, books, miscellaneous lamps, etc. The bedding is old and not that comfortable. The dining chairs are hard and very uncomfortable. There is no radio or television, so bring your own entertainment. Upon arrival, there are paper instructions ( which were helpful) but also a letter from the owner stating clearly to please not use her supplies or disturb her things as she also lives there. Hmm. I have stayed in many vacation owner rentals, and ALL have had supplies for the renters like dish soap, paper towels, shampoo/conditioner, bath soap, basic kitchen needs ( salt, pepper, ketchup, etc). And I've never been asked to not use or touch the owner's belongings. If the owner doesn't want things used, then I'd recommend locking them in a cabinet so renters do not use the items. Given most of the people renting this apartment are travelers, it would have been nice to have basic needs supplied ( like soap, shampoo, etc) . So if you stay here, bring ALL personal items and go buy all the basics ( paper towels, kitchen supplies, etc). The owner did not greet us and there was no communication before our arrival as to how we would get the keys, etc. I emailed and texted the owner several times and had no response. So my daughter and I just showed up at the unit and fortunately a young man meet us ( not the owner) and showed up the unit. Overall: while I liked the location and security of the building, for the price we paid I expected more attention to detail and a unit that was not so old and tired.

betty r., Vancouver B.C Canada

satisfactory with some reservations
The apartment is very central. Major destinations are reached by bus which stops in front.Mere yards from the Luxembourg Gardens. There is noisy construction right across the street. There are 80 steps up a spiral staircase to the 4th floor. Hot water is an issue: very little flow in the kitchen sink or in the shower. The owner has left all her personal belongings in the apartment leaving little space for guests. The greeter was terrific: carrying both our large suitcases up the 80 stairs. What I am trying to say is that there is too much of the owner in the apartment. We almost felt like we were intruding. And it is quite expensive considering. Only one half of the induction stove worked. To be fair, the owner was available and pleasant. Chris

Ideal apartment and location!
We loved staying at Christine's lovely apartment. It is incredibly charming, spacious, filled with art and books, well-equipped, and the perfect location in Paris. Christine was most gracious in welcoming us and quite clear in introducing us to her home and discussing the neighborhood. We were surprised to find the facade of the building across the street being noisily renovated, but it didn't keep us from sleeping comfortably and we thoroughly enjoying being there. We'd certainly be happy to stay there again.

Beautiful, interesting apartment just steps from the wonderful Luxembourg Gardens. Wonderful neighborhood, and extremely convenient to nearly everything in Paris by walking or public transportation. Those with limited mobility should be aware that it requires walking up three flights of fairly steep steps, but a small price to pay for a lovely apartment.

A Parisian Gem
My wife and I have just returned from our 3 week stay in Christine's apartment in September. We are regular visitors and have stayed in 3 different Parisian apartments over the past 10 years. Christine's apartment is now our first choice. I fully endorse the positive comments of earlier visitors. The apartment's location next to the Luxembourg gardens is an outstanding feature . This enabled us to enjoy the many charms of the gardens as well as the opportunity to mingle with Parisians whilst we relaxed and sought a respite from the vibrant milieu of parisian life. The apartment is a delightful combination of salon style and modern functionalism. Kitchen and bathroom have been updated to contemporary standards and fully satisfied our needs. The kitchen is a delight to cook in . It has all the appliances and cooking paraphernalia of an American kitchen.. So when you tire of bistro cooking you can stay home and practice your culinary skills. The apartment is surprisingly quiet being in the center of the 6th arrondissement. You have easy walking access to the heart of parisian life. The bedroom has a comfortable mattress and an adjacent bathroom with an excellent shower. Since this is Christine's apartment , you will find that her elegant furnishings and extraordinary library give the apartment a salon cachet which is in keeping with its Parisian location. The apartment is in an older building on the third floor. There is no elevator but this provides the opportunity for daily exercise which with the metro stairs will guarantee that you will not put on any weight even with regular bistro dining.. My wife and I had no difficulty dealing with the stairs during our stay [we are seniors] but those with disabilities would find the stairs a challenge. The building has a concierge who is friendly and helpful. You do not need a vehicle to enjoy your stay in Paris. The Navigo pass and the 2 metro stations nearby provide easy access to the whole city. As well, if travelling from CDG by the RER train you are only a short walk from the Luxembourg RER station to the apartment. To sum up, the apartment is tasteful, elegant and very functional.
