The apt was just as pictured. The location was wonderful. The fifth floor was no bother with the elevator. It is tiny but could hold two people or one person and their luggage on travel days. The balcony was a treat. The kitchen though small was all we needed and even had a dishwasher. Rue Monge had everything we needed a few steps away. Easy walking to so many wonderful attractions and the Siene which made it easy to visit the right bank as well. Le Marais was just across the river! loved the nearby Jardin de Plantes and Rue Mufftard with its scores of restaurants. Communication with the host was easy and mostly done by text which suited us just fine.
