Great spot. Clean and comfortable apartment with views of Paris from the balcony. The bed and couch were very comfortable and the bathroom and shower were large and also very clean! Our host stayed in close contact which was very helpful. No secret that in this area there are a million places to choose from. If you've never been to Paris (which I hadn't) get familiar with the metro and also be ready to walk. If you're not going to have phone service, download a google map of Paris onto your phone first. Once you have it downloaded you won't need phone service or wifi to use Google maps. The Gare-Montparnasse metro station across the street from the flat is convenient but keep in mind it is not just a Metro, it is very large and maze-like international train station (almost like Grand Central in New York). We decided quickly to use a different metro stop not as close to the apartment but smaller because it was less intimidating. But still, the place was great and we would certainly go stay there again the next time we are in France!
