The apartment is very well located near the Jardin des Plantes on a quiet street. It's on the 5th floor but has a little lift in the building. It has good facilities - washing machine, dishwasher, good shower and all the basics you need. It is characterful and not over furnished. The local area has plenty of supermarkets and shops. I stayed a month whilst working in Paris and would certainly recommend it. Its a good base as a tourist too, major attractions are close by and the area is well served by metro or you can walk 20 minutes through the Jardin des Plantes and cross the river to gare de lyon for rail services. There is good WiFi, the building is reasonably quiet and I have no complaints about my stay. I was checked in and out by the owners son who was friendly, helpful and courteous. By Paris standards it is well priced and is much better than one of the many ridiculously tiny studios at outrageous prices that proliferate Paris now.
