Absolutely perfect place to stay in Paris! It was a quiet, cozy base for walking all over the city, and Bernadette is a warm and friendly host who treated us like family. She lives next door and is available when you have questions. The place itself is tiny but well equipped with a lovely little garden. The location across the way from the Jardin des plantes couldn't be better. Lots of nearby shops, restaurants, several wonderful food markets--and the Seine just at the bottom of the street. Very easy to get around by metro, bike, bateauxbus, and on foot!
