Hello All! I am happy to report that I have picked my apartment and am half way through the renting process :-) It is located between the third and fourth districts right outside the Latin Quarter. It's called the Latin Quarter because historically there have been a lot of students there-- who used to speak Latin to show off their intelligence. It is on the third floor (no elevator-- which there never are) and is about 350 square feet. In Paris-- this is a BIG apartment in America-- this is a large bathroom. It has hard wood floors, a Murphy bed and sofa (that's a big plus!) with a separate kitchen and bathroom. I was really happy with this choice, its nice and spacey and does not have the stove next to my bed :-). It is about three miles to my school, so i will need to take the metro but it will help me to get a better understanding of different neighborhoods. Click here to see picture. Come visit! there is a sofa bed!

The green line is my street and arrow is about where the apartment is.
