Our host Frédérique met us at the apartment. Even though we were early, she let us store our bags and toured us around her lovely apartment. The neighborhood is quiet yet not deserted. It's full of restaurants and shops, and it's very close (less than one block) to the Place Monge metro station. There is a farmers market close by and its a few minutes walk to Rue Mouffetard. The apartment itself is very spacious, full of light, and it's very comfortable. We easily felt at home here. There is even a small balcony with a beautiful view. We would love to stay here again.
