We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts, Helene and Pierre. The flat was clean and bright, retaining many of its original features: oak floors, fireplace and French windows with a pleasant street view. It was well if simply equipped: more than sufficient for our short stay. The bed was comfortable and the atmosphere peaceful. A great base for our Paris trip. Port-Royal is a busy but traditional neighbourhood with excellent communications (RER B and buses) to the centre and Gare du Nord; within walking distance of the Jardin de Luxembourg and brasseries such as La Closerie des Lilas, Le Dome and La Coupole. Thanks to Helene and Pierre for their hospitality and a good time spent!
