I had a good stay at Fosca’s place, just outside the Sèvres-Babylon metro station. It was clean, with a large window but no windows next door looking into it, so there was privacy. The antique wooden stairs gave the building a feel of opulence, but after a full day of climbing the stairs at the Louvre, I was less excited about them. There was an internet outage while I was there, so no WiFi for me, but that was beyond Fosca’s control. She did allow me to trouble shoot the modem. The biggest trouble I had with communication was that I am unable to use the AirBnB app on my American phone except when connected to WiFi. Fosca was great about using SMS messages for more reliable communication. She was always friendly and helpful, and so was the staff at Le Sèvres Raspail cafe across the street. There is also a chocolatier next door and a petit marche around the corner. The location was very convenient for accessing the Louvre, Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle, and other sites by the metro lines.
