Jussieu is a great place to stay! It is close enough to the centre of Paris to walk to Notre Dame along the Seine if you want to or the metro is a 2 minute walk from the apartment. The area is safe and friendly, with everything you need within 2 minutes walk. The flat is just as shown in the pictures- just lovely! It is very clean, airy and well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. There were 5 of us so my husband and I slept on the sofa bed, which was a nice size and surprisingly solid and comfortable! Christine is the perfect hostess. She greeted us with a genuine warmth and friendliness and took her time to explain everything really well. Although she and Pascal live in a flat across the hall you felt that they trusted you to get on and enjoy your stay but they were available if needed without being intrusive. Christine and I wrote notes and put them under the door if necessary! I can't praise her warmth and caring nature highly enough- on the last day she made us crepes for breakfast and put them by our door, she trusted us to tidy the flat and was very kind. I would definitely go back here and can only recommend it to others.
