We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. I couldn't pick a better location in Paris to base a sightseeing vacation from, especially if you like to walk. The apartment is 2 blocks from the river, a few blocks from the Musee d'Orsay and all of the cafes on San Germain des Pres. Although it is in the middle of everything, the particular block is quiet. The courtyard entry also makes this apartment very quiet and secluded. Only issues were a slight smoky smell (which I suspect is typical in France) and the blind in the kitchen needs fixed. We would stay again and recommend to friends.
