We enjoyed our stay at Pierre-Yves apartment~ it is in a lovely, quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the Los Gobelin metro stop and also not far from the hub near Montparnasse. For those who love large coffees, there is a Starbucks (one of the only ones we saw in Paris) a short walk away, just past the McDonalds (which we did not visit ;-) There are many lovely little patisseries and restaurants within a short walk of the apartment.

Pierre-Yves met us on arrival and showed us how everything worked. The spacious apartment is on the 3rd floor~ we were thankful for the lift in the building after a long day of walking, and especially for the luggage. It is an older building and yes, the floors creak and you can sometimes hear neighbors and the dove that coos early in the morning. But these are all a part of the charm of living in the 'real' Paris as a Parisian, vs. a tourist/hotel living. We truly felt we were living there, not just visiting~ it was very hard to leave!!
