The appartment was great and we enjoyed it very much. Everything was as promised and even beyond. The appartment was spacious, fully equipped, and very generous in what it proffered us. The location was excellent, in the very heart of Montparnass, and literally a few steps from the Metro station, which made it easy to travel over Paris and to get to the apartment from everywhere. On the street it was noisy and illuminated, but good windows and curtains saves us any discomfort. There were lot of reataurants, cafes, supermarket and other shops, as well as daily fairs. We did not meet the landlady who likely stayed in her own vacation, However her father was three stories above in the same building. He did not know English (and unfortunately our knoweledge of French was very poor), but his grandson was there at the day of our arrival and communicated with us in English. The fee was high but we felt it was reasonable when compared to the appartment qualities and to our needs. We were six people, four adults and two children, so we atayed conviniently in four bedrooms and used two bathrooms. The living rom is huge, there is a televisions with many options (cable, internet. etc.), a piano... There was a dining table with six chairs, and the kitchen was fully equipped. Overall the appartment contributed to our positive impression of Paris. If you can afford it I highly recommend.
