Gerard’s flat is a beautiful and cozy space, well located in Montparnasse. It’s within walking distance of several public transit options, and if you’re a keen walker it’s possible to walk into the city centre in about 45 minutes. Everything was clean and functional, although I had to restart the WiFi router upon arrival. The elevator is not for the claustrophobic, like many old elevators in Paris, but it works fine. Gerard was always very quick and helpful with his responses to my messages. This is a great apartment if you’re looking to stay a bit outside of the commercial centre of the city, and want all the charm of an old Parisian flat. If you’re an art nerd or literature buff, Montparnasse a great place to be, and this flat puts you close the cafes and studios frequented by many turn-of-the-century artists, writers, photographers, and cultural figures. Long story short, I had a great stay and was charmed by the area. Not touristy at all, with lots of amenities around. I would stay here again. Thanks, Gerard!
