Nice fellow! This is a great little spot situated near some of the classic St Germain des Prés attractions. One can also use it as a jumping off spot for citywide walking adventures. The Metro is nearby. If you want to settle in and cook, hang out around the pad, that is not going to work. It is small, full of stuff, and needs some maintenance. Quiet little alley spot with some rooftops (a cool black cat appears silhouetted along there periodically), a schoolyard brings some regular activity through the day, and very little traffic. Still, we made it work and enjoyed our stay.
