Hélène's place is conveniently situated between Vaugirard and Convention metro stations. From here many tourist sights are accessible, including department stores (Le Bon Marché, Printemps, Galeries Lafayette), the Montparnasse Tower, place de la Madeleine, and place de la Concorde. Despite all of this, the apartment is situated in a quiet residential area. The view from the windows of the church (Paroisse St-Lambert) is also outstanding. (Bells do ring from 8.00 though so perhaps not the best choice if you are after a lie-in or don't like the sound of church bells.) The windows open wide to let in plenty of air and the blackout blinds ensure an excellent night's sleep. The apartment itself is spacious and well-equipped, especially in the kitchen, with decent knives and a Nespresso machine available. As it is 5 floors up with no elevator, do be aware of this in case it is problematic for you (although it wasn't a problem for me even at 4.5 months pregnant). It felt really homely and I would definitely stay again.
