Pierre's apartment is in a great neighborhood where everything you need is close by. The metro line is #7, which goes both north/south snd east/west. We loved the market on the Rue Mouftard and at the Place Monge (both are mostly food). We were surprised to find a Starbucks there, and all over Paris! Pierre arranged to meet us, and we had a great conversation. He was always available by phone or email if we had questions. This personal contact helped us feel at home. We highly recommend Pierre's apartment. We stayed a week and hope to return soon!
