I was expecting quite a lot of this apartment because it was so lovely in the photos. What surprised me was although we were there during a heatwave, the apartment and courtyard stayed pretty cool. I'm from Seattle where we also do not have a/c in our homes. I wish my home stayed this cool.
We were 3 generations - mother, daughter, teen granddaughter - on our first trip to France. We felt very Parisien in this apartment and charming neighborhood - close to the hustle and bustle, but amazingly a peaceful sanctuary. Good transportation nearby. Plenty of lovely cafes, bakeries, cheese shop, grocery, restaurants.
Distances for walkers -
.5 mi or less Musee D'Orsay, Musee Rodin, the Seine, Le Bon Marche
1 mi or less Luxembourg Gardens, the Louvre
1.3 mi to Notre Dame
1.4 mi to Eiffel Tower
Host very accurately described the apartment - it's pluses as well as cautions.
