Claire's apartment is in a great location. It is very secure, you first enter a courtyard through a locked door, then enter the building. There is a small elevator to the apartment on the 3rd floor. It is about a 5 minute walk to the Metro. The neighborhood has many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The view over the Jardin des Plantes is lovely. The apartment is well-equipped and very clean. We did have to message Claire to get the wifi name and password as there is no manual for guests. Overall, a nice neighborhood and easy to get around.
