The location of this appartment couldn't be better; right next to the Odeon metro stop (direct from the Gare du Nord) and in the wonderful Latin Quarter very close to the Jardin de Luxembourg. The area is full of bookshops which is a particular delight to us. Raoni is a great host; he answered all my questions quickly and even came to welcome us despite our late arrival. He gave us extra towels when we asked and also left a nice bottle of wine which we didn't have time to drink unfortunately, but what a lovely touch.
The appartment is a very clever use of what were probably storage rooms originally; a good sized living room with a single bed for our son, a big very well equipped kitchen and good storage space with a desk plus a snug bedroom with a big double-bed and a good shower room. It is extremely well designed to maximise the space available. What it doesn't have are views as all the windows give onto the inner courtyard, but as a base from which to enjoy Paris it is great.
