Outstanding!
1. Beautiful apartment, newly remodeled, with brand-new full kitchen (with regular/convection oven and an induction stove), and an elevator.
2. Amazing location - right by the ancient street Rue Mouffetard, which is known for it's patisseries, fromageries, and boucheries (bakeries, cheese shops, and butcher shops) - plus great restaurants!
3. Wonderful landlady - she met us at the nearby metro stop to show us the apartment, had some food and wine waiting for us, and even invited us over to her apartment for dinner with her family (and gave us a tour of the city in her car!) I'm sure not everyone gets a dinner and tour (we stayed for a whole month), but it gives you the idea of her wonderful hospitality!
4. Lovely, comfy bed, with a brand-new high-tech queen-sized foam mattress (so comfy), and soft, soft pillows and blankets. We slept so well!
5. Did I mention the elevator? The vast majority of apartments in Paris don't have one and thus everybody has to trudge up a zillion steps. This place, however, has one retrofitted in, and it's so handy. The elevator is tiny, of course, because it's built into a hundred-plus-year-old building, but it makes living on the top floor SO nice! Plus, living on the top floor meant that there's no thumping from footsteps on top of us!
6. Two rooms, which is so nice - so many places in this price range are just a studio (even though they call them one-bedrooms), but this is actually a bedroom plus a separate living room/kitchen. Being able to take a nap in one room while my wife was doing stuff in the other room really made our stay easy. Plus, the living room/kitchen has a futon-couch which could convert into a bed, for the kiddies (we don't have any, but maybe you do).
7. Right next to the metro stop, which is Place Monge. This location is incredibly important, because everyone takes the metro everywhere (it's incredibly easy), and many apartments are pretty far from the metro. Having the metro less than a block away made going anywhere in the city nice and easy.
8. Our landlady really made our trip easy - Isabelle contacted us via email, suggested that we Skype before we came, and her assistance really made everything go smoothly and easily. I had never been to France before, and when traveling, it's those little thing that can catch you up - with Isabelle's wonderful assistance, getting there, living there, and getting out all went smoothly and easily. SO nice!
Summary: Great location, beautiful little apartment, landlady that's easy to work with - this is the apartment to get!
