This apt, just off Rue de la Gaite is comfortable, well appointed, well located for getting all around Paris. Nice very small elevator. Good security.
I love Montparnesse, and this property is in the heart of that area.
The combination of a small living room, a good sized bedroom with large closets and a well equipped kitchen was perfect for us.
Restaurants, retail, drug store, groceries… all right here. Easy access to the 4, 6, 10, 12, 13 and Montparnesse rail station. 12 minutes to Luxembourg Garden.
I think it would be noisy at night during warm weather, as the outdoor bistros on the street are very popular and fill up most nights.
The owner was very helpful.
There are some negatives: the caretaker soeaks no English and has an unusual accent. My partner really struggled to communicate. The hot water is on some kind of timer, so now and then we’s run out and had to wait for the system to reset. The washer/dryer just did not work (of we couldn’t get it to work). But there is a laundry right down the block.
Bottom line: lived staying here for almost three weeks. Would definitely go back.
