We spent the first 3 weeks of May in Pierre's apartment and had a wonderful time. The building is in the rear of another building which makes it very quiet. We really appreciated that! It is about one block from the metro line #7. We used the metro a lot and bought books of 10 tickets at the station. Line 7 goes past many of the main stops such as the Louvre, Opera, etc. and is easy to transfer to and from. This is also a nice residential area with several good places to eat nearby. On weekends we had coffee and croissants in the morning at Verse Toujours across the street. Cafe Lea around the corner has the best caesar salad I have ever eaten. The Rue Mouffetard about a block away going north has lots of food take out places including one with very good Italian food. Also in walking distance is the Jardin des Plantes - a huge garden with beautiful flowers. There are two grocery stores within a couple of blocks and an ATM just outside the door to the building. Also a chocolate shop which has wonderful chocolates. The apartment has good wi-fi and a phone which you can use for free to call anywhere. The bed is very good and the kitchen has a unique space-saving oven/dishwasher combo (the dishwasher under the oven). There are lots of windows so the apartment is airy and light and Pierre is easily available to answer any questions you may have.
