the location

Located in the famous Quartier Latin on the Left Bank,
in rue St Jacques, near Le Pantheon, La Sorbonne and les Jardins du Luxembourg (healthy for the kids ... and for the mother), also not far from rue Mouffetard (night spot, many small restaurants) and from Le Petit Journal (jazz club).
Many restaurants of all types within walking distance (picturesque traditional Polidor in rue Monsieur le Prince, L'Empire Celeste - where Francoise Sagan used to go - is litterally just steps away;
even La Closerie des Lilas, where Hemingway had his habits, is not really far ...)

A long time ago, this is also where the city originally started, on the top of a hill, to avoid the consequences of river floodings

calls to European landline + possibly more) + TV service if you wish would be installed
before you would move in, the avarage rates for cable solution (Numericable) are shown on the floorplan, other solutions being usually a little more expensive

- heating and water heating are done by the building, their cost is included in utilities
(200 € per month), therefore the gas and electricty bills should be very reasonable. (in many other apartments in Paris, heating and water heating are individual and inflate those bills pretty much)
