Really enjoyed our week on Blvd. St-Jacques! The apt is very well-equipped, including the kitchen, where we cooked several meals. It even had some basic food items - olive oil, vinegars, sugar, salt, etc. The two burner induction stove will probably challenge a few North American cooks, but it’s pretty standard in new apartments in France and you can cook a fine meal with it. The downstairs Franprix market is well stocked for a small facility and the people super friendly, at least to us.
Lots of device chargers around (even for the Apple Watch!) and plenty of sockets.
One great feature was an excellent Nespresso espresso machine with literally scores of choices of teas and coffees all installed on the wall! There also is a milk frother to make your favorite cappuccino or latte. Our caffeine intake definitely spiked!
The bed was comfortable and had good linens. Plenty of hang space and a good tub/shower as well.
Only negative was the street noise, while noticeable in the mornings and evening rush hours, was nonetheless definitely tolerable (and not worth removing any stars from our rating).
I had never stayed near the Denfert Rochereau area, but it turned out to be quite convenient to the Metro and bus lines we needed. And it’s right on the RER line to/from CDG (and the Orlybus) so the transportation between the city and the airports is quite easy.
All in all a very fine experience. I’d stay there again!
