My husband and I spent 10 nights at Helene's apartment. Helene was the perfect host and the apartment was perfect for our stay. The apartment has large rooms. The bedroom has a comfy king bed and is in the quiet back of the building. We appreciated the English news channels on the TV. The very equipped Kitchen has all the essentials, pots, pans to make a nice meal. There is a back porch area off the kitchen which gets afternoon sun-good for drying clothes on the rack. Bathroom has a nice size washing machine-works great. Building has a large (for Paris) elevator and is very secure. Location is very near Montparnasse station for trains and also 4 metro lines converge here. Plenty of grocery stores close-Monoprix, Simply, Carefour. Also Edgar Quinet open air market. We loved this apartment and hope to return next year.
