We loved staying in Paris's Latin quarter at 13 Rue Linne. Lisa and Richard's apartment is comfortable and brimming with French, old-world style such as the filigree ironwork at the windows. We sat at an antique dining table tucked in a corner to eat, while enjoying the 4th floor view over rooftops above the building's cobblestone courtyard. The kitchen proved convenient for our cooking simple meals, as well for preparing morning coffee with its French press.
The apartment is quiet. It's located in a walkable neighborhood with cafes, bakeries, the lovely Jardine des Plantes (botanical gardens and zoo), Monge market (Wednesdays, Fridays, & Sundays 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM), diverse shops and restaurants on Rue Mouffetard, and the people-watching cafe terraces of Place de la Contrescarpe. About a 15 or 20 minute walk from Lisa and Richard's place are the Pantheon (you can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance from its steps) and Luxembourg Gardens (in my opinion, the most beautiful place on earth to sit and read. On a Sunday in September 2019, orchestras played in its bandstand). There are also Metro stations very nearby Lisa and Richard's apartment. We found the Metro (Paris' Subway system) to be efficient, clean, fast, safe, and easy to use for getting to popular tourist sites in Paris.
