harold's place was perfect for us. just a basic accommodation with kitchen facilities at a great price, and only one block from all the action on rue mouffetard and two blocks from place monge metro. cute little antique elevator (capacity 2) takes you up to the 4th floor. I think it's a 2BR apartment and his sister stays there sometimes, but we were there a week and she was in the other bedroom only 2 nites, so it was like we had the place to ourselves. millions of bars and restaurants on rue mouffetard but very little noise arrives at the apartment because the windows are at the back of the building. Two big parks nearby to get outdoors, the Jardin des Plantes (on the Seine) and Luxembourg gardens are both walkable. A great place to stay, not fancy, and not very far from the center at a reasonable price. We loved it and would definitely stay there again.
