The Nest is Montparnasse is exactly as its name describes, a cozy and self-sustaining abode for a sojourn in Paris. Rachel and Simon, our lovely hosts, greeted us the day we arrive, let us leave our bags with them, and explained everything we may need for a comfortable stay. There is a farmer's market in the alley within the Edgar Quinet Boulevard where you may shop for cheese, vegetables, fruits and ready meals. We even picked up some little gifts for our friends back home, such as artisanal soaps and lavender pillows. Within minutes walk there is the supermarket Monoprix where you may obtain every other item you may need in addition to the groceries. The location of the house is so central to the city with easy access to Metro and train system it is quite possible to have some rest between your outings. The access is very reliable and security is high in the apartment. The neighbors are polite, helpful. Wi-fi works without any problem. Some outside noise is possible due to social activity especially during weekend nights, but it is not raucous and ends in bed time. We were happy to stay here, and would stay again if we visit again. Highly recommended for one or two people.
