I think this is a steal for those who'd like to be immersed in real Parisian life. The house is gorgeous and located in a lovely neighborhood full of flowers. Even locals come here for a photoshoot. Lots of pastry shops, farmers markets, wine stores. You'll have everything to cook for yourself if you are that type of traveler, however bistros around the block are also quite good. If you like walking, Montparnasse is 30 mins by foot, though numerous busses and relatively close subway station makes getting around very easy. Cécile is one of the most welcoming hosts I ever had and I would come back with no hesitation. Our family of three were very sad to leave.
