This charming apartment was exactly as the pictures and descriptions demonstrated it would be; it met our expectations in every way. Mathilde was away and unable to welcome us in person, but that didn't keep her from answering all of our questions nearly instantly, nor from being the most lovely host--she left us a very clean home for the week and even went so far as to leave us sweet amenitites such as milk and bread and a tour book of the city. The location was absolutely fantastic for exploring the left bank on foot and the rest of Paris was easily within reach too from the nearby metro. The spot was great with a mix of a lively younger university crowd and more mellow history seeking tourists. Adjacent to food shops, restaurants of many cuisines, the local fromager, and quite afforable wine. Oh, and a great view of the eiffel tower was just a quick walk around the corner :)
