Martine's place is a great find in Paris. It's a perfect apartment : clean, safe, quiet and convenient. The kitchen is great for cooking easy meals while visiting Paris. Nearby are several neighborhood bistros. It is close to several small markets as well as the huge Carrefour at Place d'Italie. It is close to three major metro lines, only a few stops from the main attractions of Paris. The Luxembourg Gardens is a short walk, as is the Latin Quarter. Martine and her hostess Danielle are very hospitable and helpful. This will be our preferred place to stay when we return to Paris.
