Pascal was extremely welcoming when we arrived. He was very thorough with the explanation of the flat as well explaining our local options for the Metro and train. The neighborhood, was a perfect location from which to explore the city, very secure, and very friendly. We found a wonderful boulangerie and patisserie for our morning croissants and breads just down the street and great restaurants within easy walking distances. My wife would take her morning run in the nearby Luxembourg Gardens which was a special treat. The flat was very comfortable when we were there in early June however even with open windows it might get a little hot during the extreme heat of the summer. With being located on a weekdays busy Rue Port Royal, once in the flat located facing the inner courtyard it was very quiet and peaceful. It really provided us with a great "local" feel of the Montparnasse area of Paris and put many more areas within walking distance.
