My first Air BnB experience and it was a great one. Located on a quiet street, the apartment is around the corner from the Jardin de Luxembourg, so morning walks were a real pleasure. There are several boulangeries (bio, gluten-free, and artisanal); numerous cafés with pleasant staff; and three mini-markets: Franprix, Carrefour, and Monoprix all represented. Several intimate but not intimidating restaurants. Sunday brings a bio-marché, Friday there is regular marché, both located on rue Raspail. Short (7 min.) walk to Rennes metro stop; Sèvres-Babylone about 10 mins. Also short walk in other direction to Saint-Sulpice and rue Saint-Germain. Just a great location, clean property, top floor (6th) with elevator, east and west-facing views for plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Host Eric earns his reputation as a super host -- he was really super, addressing a couple of needs that I had with quick response.
