Maryvonne made us feel extremely welcome and at home in her beautiful apartment, which was full of character and warmth

The neighbourhood is both quiet and well connected: An entrance to the Jardins de Luxembourg is literally around one corner, while it takes about five minutes to walk in a different direction to Boulevard Saint-Germain (Cafe Flore, Les Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp). Don't forget to sample the award winning croissants at the street's boulangerie, La Parisienne).

We would recommend staying here for the perfect base to explore St Germain, as well as the rest of the city (it takes about 15 minutes, without changes, to get from Gare Du Nord to the local metro).
