Paule was in touch in the days prior to my arrival to make sure everything was in order and arranged for a friend to be there waiting for me with the keys.
Inside the flat is tastefully decorated, comfortable, spotlessly clean, very quiet and full of light all day, with a perfectly functional bathroom and a well equipped kitchen . Note there is no TV so you'll need to bring your own on-screen entertainment if that's your thing.
The flat is in a residential area very well served by public transport, with two metro stations less than 10 mins walk away offering direct service to major trains stations like Montparnasse, Gare de l'Est Gare du Nord, and plenty of buses meaning you can reach the heart of Paris and all major tourist attractions within half-an-hour. Or you can walk to the Latin Quarter in the same time through Jardin de l'Observatoire and Jardin du Luxembourg.
All in all a great place to spend a few days discovering Paris.
