What a wonderful apartment! It is in an old building, and it feels like it is from a different era--but with modern amenities. We loved the windows that looked out on the street, with large shutters that we could open or close. The location is perfect. The street is relatively quiet with a few small restaurants that give it character. There is a fantastic patisserie just around the corner. We really liked the whole St. Germain area and its proximity to museums, the Seine, and the metro.
