The apartment was as described but we really weren't expecting how compact a Paris apartment is. That aside, the location was perfect for us right at the back of fountaine st michel. The metro is at your doorstep and is on a line that services all sights easily. There are no laundry facilities but there is a laundromat only 3 minutes walk away. There is no hanging space so you need to live from the suitcase although there are drawers in the bedroom for storage. The unit is very secure and we'd happily recommend it to people visiting Paris under the same conditions we were travelling under. Alexandre emailed me regularly to check everything was alright and we were met at the beginning by Alexandre's friend who settled us in.
