This was the first time that I have stayed I the Pasteur area, I have tended to be north of the river in previous stays. I had not realised what an excellent location it is with Pasteur being on the 6 ad 12 lines. Marie's apartment is perfectly located within a few minutes walk from the Metro, yet still very quiet with almost no traffic noise. The apartment is a great size for a single or couple. Marie welcomed me in person and showed me around. Everything was clean and organised. Within a few minutes walk there is a supermarket and what has become my favourite restaurant in Paris, Aux Artistes.
