The flat has lots of charm and it is a very clean and comfortable place to stay . The area is not touristy so you feel that you are in a quiet place , but when needed you are able to hop on the metro . Also it is a short walk to 'Montparnasse and other interesting areas . The flat is an excellent base as it is also only a short walk from a big brocante that is held each weekend . This is my fourth time staying at this flat as it is very relaxing place .
