Irene's apartment is cozy, clean and comfortable, and so conveniently located. Although it is not air conditioned, there is a fan that quickly brought relief from August heat. I fell in love with the neighbourhood. The street is quiet, but a lively square is just blocks away. It was lovely to walk through le Jardin des Plantes on the way to the river. A Metro station is close by, as are many amenities. Irene's list of suggestions was very thoughtful, and we had a wonderful stay.
