This apartment is a pleasant walk of just over 20 minutes from the Latin Quarter, or 3 minutes walk from the Glaciere metro stop if you are feeling lazy. It is a large room with a kitchen, shower room and loo leading from it. It is a semi basement below the host's house though light flowed into it and it certainly didn't feel gloomy. It was an excellent base for my family to return to after strolling through Paris, a tranquil refuge in the big city. Having access to the shady garden for reading in the sunshine was an expected bonus. Lucas, the host, was very helpful, telling us about local shops and sights.
