Astrid is a great host and the apartment beautiful. It is close to the Rue Mouffetard a quaint street leading up to the busier part of town and the Pantheon. There are cafes, a variety of independent shops and open fruit/veg sellers. I was heading to Roland Garros so access to transport essential. I had plenty of options. Rue Broca is well served by RER, Metro and bus services. I will be back!
