My teenage daughter and I had a comfortable stay at the apartment. It would not suit more than 2 people, or a couple with one child. Bali met us with orange juice and croissants, which was nice because we had been traveling for 24 hours and were quite jet-lagged. She gave us perfect directions to use public transit to get there. The location is so convenient to good museums, shopping and great food options, restaurants right around the corner including the oldest restaurant in Paris, La Petite Chaise, where we had an excellent dinner with good service, and also including the Grand Epicerie, like a Whole Foods Market but elevated to the height of sophistication. It was around the corner from a metro stop and so we were able to get to Gare Montparnasse in 10 minutes for our TGV train out of the city. Comfortable beds, my daughter slept on the fold out in the living room and that doesn't leave much room for moving around, but that was ok for us. Lots of hot water in a good shower. We didn't cook much in the cute little kitchen, but people who want to should be advised there was no exhaust piping for the fan over the stove.

And ear plugs, for while the apartment is not on a busy street, it is tucked between the Boulevard St. Germain and Boulevard Raspail, which are busy. On the other hand, I felt safe walking around at night, and stayed out late by myself to watch some of the Euro Cup games at local bars. The apartment security was good, with two locked doors at street level and a good lock on the apartment door up one flight of stairs. We stayed for 5 nights. On the down side, on the last night, we experienced a constant infiltration of cigarette smoke into the apartment. We weren't sure where it was coming from--not outside, as the windows and shutters were closed. It was either coming through the stairwell from another apartment or through some vents of which we were not aware. Someone or more than one was staying up all night smoking, and we got to breathe all their exhaust. It was not good. I am glad it did not happen before the last night, or it would have made our...
