Charming apartment with all the necessities, close to metros, buses, shops, restaurants and cinemas, and a great jumping off point for walking to major attractions. Manon is a gracious and communicative host. Her tranquil place in the middle of a lively part of the 14th, full of affordable and excellent shops and restaurants, suited us perfectly. We have lived in Paris for long stretches in other parts of town and this was our favorite. It perfectly suits people like us, whose preferred modes of travel are by foot and metro. But if you don't mind paying for taxis, there is a stand nearby, just across R. Alesia from the Plaisance metro station. Trains come every 2-3 minutes at nearly all hours, just amazing!
