You would be hard pressed to find a better location and neighborhood in Paris. I lived there for several years and know the city well. You're in the heart of the 6th - just a couple blocks in one direction are the Luxembourg Gardens and a couple in the other direction and you're on the Seine. The Odeon metro stop is at your doorstep as are three or four excellent cafes. There's a market street a block a way as well.

The apartment a perfect example of a "real" French habitat - not something staged to rent to tourists. You'll feel very much like you are in Paris even when you are not outside.

Our host was constantly giving us suggestions and there for any questions we had. We felt very welcomed.

This is a top floor walk-up so you need to understand that. If you are infirm then the stairs may be to much for you. Yes the first time or two requires a bit of courage but I and my kids got used to it quickly. Besides when you're at the top you have a nice view of the classic rooftops of Paris which I love.
