Beautiful, well-appointed, temperature-controlled suite overlooking rooftops on a cute street of townhouses in a safe, racially-mixed neighborhood in the 13th, deep in the Left Bank. You have to walk out 5 minutes in either direction to find businesses, but there are 2 metro stations and numerous bus stations nearby, and upon the advice of Cedric's father, I walked home alone around midnight. If you don't feel like dealing with metro connections, the #21 bus at the end of the street will take you past Luxembourg Gardens, Notre Dame, Pont Neuf, the Louvre and Place de l'Opéra, all in 30 minutes. A great area to find Asian food, shop at a great Monoprixe and have a fantastic, legit Thai massage at Ban Maï Thaï (I used to live in Thailand). Breakfast in the dining nook is an opportunity to meet your hosts and the guests from the other two rooms over coffee, tea, juices, fresh fruit, yogurt, meats/cheese, bread and fresh croissants. Wished I could have stayed longer up in the Zanzibar suite working on my book!
