Lovely studio, lovely neighborhood
I was very comfortable staying 4 1/2 weeks in this charming place.
Although I never met the owner, I was warmly greeted by the waiting concierge -- Marie could not have been more welcoming and kind. She showed me around the apartment and always greeted me when we passed in the building, answering any questions I might have and just generally making me always feel welcome.
The area is very residential although there is one small and one large market within a few blocks. It's peaceful at night -- most of the cafes are near Place d'Italie which is also a good transit hub and about a 15 minute walk away. There is a small marche for fruit and veggies and cheese along the street in front of the apartment several days a week and larger Sunday marches on Avenue d'Italie and Blvd Auguste Blanqui.
Bus #67 runs along Rue Bobillot about every 20 minutes and it is easy to get to central Paris, sometimes with one easy transfer.
This is not a busy tourist area but it is a lovely area to explore when one is wanting a quieter day.
I would happily stay in this apartment again and I do hope to return next Fall.
