Pierre is a wonderful host and his apartment is light-filled, beautifully decorated, comfortable, convenient and quiet. Pierre is very welcoming, attentive and responsive. He gave us a tour of the neighborhood with markets including a large Monoprix across the street and the Gare Montparnasse below the modern apartment building. There are many bakeries and shops for sandwiches. The apartment has all the appliances we needed, a well equipped kitchen and a terrific shower with abundant hot water. The beds are very comfortable. The Montparnasse location is superb. The bus to/from CDG stops right at the door. Gare Montparnasse has 4 metro stops and the SNCF trains which go directly to Chartres and Versailles. We attended the fabulous Saturday night fireworks at Versailles ending at 11:15 pm and were back in the apartment by 12:20 am. No RER/metro combo needed. We enjoyed the lively neighborhood with many restaurants and cafes including the famous Montparnasse icons Coupole, Select and Dome 10 minutes away. Do try Le Plomb du Cantal (Rue de la Gaite) with its specialties of the Auvergne 2 blocks away; delicious food with a fun atmosphere across from the Theatre Rive Gauche. The Jardin du Luxembourg is a beautiful stroll away. Shop on the very close Rue de Rennes. The lovely Jardin Atlantique is the "back yard" of the building. Pierre will help with logistics and recommendations. We hope to return to Paris and stay once more at "Chez Pierre."
