Situated between Bd du Montparnasse and Rue du Maine in the heart of the Montparnasse area this two bedroom is calm and perfectly central.
This neighborhood is well known for its fifty-nine story high Tour du Maine, also called Tour Montparnasse, as well as for all its shops, well known restaurants, and its creperies, cafés, many cinemas, and supermarkets
Close to the apartment are the most known streets with the best shops for the latest fashion. Not far is the Hotel des Invalides, where Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb can be visited (from this point there is a nice view of the Eiffel Tower), and the Jardin du Luxembourg with all its green expanses, perfect for a relaxing walk.
This is located on the first floor of an 18th century walk-up building. The main entrance gate is protected by a security system and there is a concierge as well. The exposure is south-west and it faces a courtyard. There is also a private 7m2 terrace in the apartment, furnsihed with two chairs and a coffee table for enjoying the outdoors.
The apartment is divided as follows: when you enter it is a large 45m2 living and dining room, a separate eat-in kitchen and a separate toilet. On the first floor are a first 10m2 bedroom and the 15m2 master bedroom opening onto the terrace, both with sloping ceilings. On this floor you will also find a small bathroom and toilet.
The living and dining room have four windows with blackout drapes viewing the courtyard. This room features exposed wood beams, a decorative fireplace and wood floors.
The master bedroom has a skylight and a bay window opening onto the terrace. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed (140 wide), a bedside table with a lamp, an armchair, and a closet and cupboards near the doorway for storage. The bay windows look onto the terrace, equipped with heavy curtains to block the sunlight when needed.
The smaller bedroom has a skylight, white painted walls and carpet on the floor. It is fitted with two single beds (80 wide), and a table with a lamp, as well as a dresser with three drawers.
The kitchen was completely renovated in 2011, and is fully equipped with a gas oven with 4 burners, a fridge and freezer (combo), a dishwasher, a sink, a toaster and all the necessary kitchen utensils. There is also a washing machine in the kitchen.
The bathroom is tiled and has a small window. It has a tub with a handheld showerhead, a washbasin and toilet. There is a separate toilet as well next to the living room.
Electricity, gas, & telephone are to be paid by tenant.
The nearest metro station is Edgar Quinet (line 4) and Montparnasse (line 4,12,13&6).
Wonderful location, spacious, blissfully quiet, and well-equipped. The only room for improvement would be in the lighting department -there wasn't enough wattage to read in the living room at night. Need more lamps/back-up bulbs.

Further to this review, we contacted the accommodation owner who was thankful for this feedback and confirmed he would add lights to improve the lighting in the apartment.
