Dd's place was amazing! I can't say enough about our stay there. It was perfect - clean, safe, charming, and close to everything. From the studio you have quick and easy access to multiple bus lines, RER, Metro, and even the BatoBus (bus on the Seine to/from la tour eiffel). And of course the St. Michel/St Germin/Quartier Latin areas so close by made for wonderful walks of discovery.
Although I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Dd, his wife was so sweet and helpful and everything was perfectly explained. I have no reason to seek out another place to stay in the future. Merci Dd!!
