We spent about 3 weeks in the apartment, and it was a phenomenal experience. We liked the house but mostly enjoyed the area. You can walk to Luxembourg garden and every little street in Saint Germain and St Sulpice. Lots of restaurants, people around - a really nice athmosphere. The apartment is small but very well organized, the kids especially enjoyed the mezzanine. It took a bit to get used to the low ceiling (I am 6') but the experience and the view from the windows (the Pantheon and the Odeon Theather) make up for it! Only two remarks: it would have been nice to have more space for our stuff (many of the cabinets and drawers were actually full), and the kitchen is really small - but we rarely eat at home :-)
