Neighborhood:

This furnished one bedroom duplex is located on Rue Georges Pitard between Rue de la procession and Rue de Vouille. The apartment is in a mostly residential neighborhood, allowing the tenant to experience real Parisian life with charming squares and all sorts of boutiques, restaurants, pleasant cafes, open-air markets, supermarkets, and convenience shops.
