The flat was exceptionally close to the #4 Montparnasse Bienvenue metro stop--Brigitte's directions were perfect. The flat is small but spacious enough for our family of 4 (2 kids under 10 years old) to sleep very comfortably for several days. Although it the apartment was on a main street, the flats were set back behind the stores out front looking out onto a courtyard, making it very quiet. Perhaps due to the fact it was August, there were very few neighbors coming and going as well, making it seem like our own private Parisian retreat.

We very much appreciated the bottle of wine welcoming us to the flat and would recommend staying at Brigitte's flat. The flat is not within easy walking distance to the Siene, but there are 3 metro lines at Montparnasse Bienvenue, which make traveling to any corner of the city easy and efficient.
