Dominique's communication before the trip was excellent, including sending us a list of restaurants and all the details for the (quick and easy) transfer from the Gare du Nord. She arranged to be at the apartment for our arrival so she could go through everything. The apartment is on the 4th floor (there's a lift) of a lovely old building in the 5th, close to Les Goblins Metro. It's beautifully decorated - it's the main residence for Dominique and her daughters so it's full of their objet d'art and books. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are all excellent and very well equipped. Ideal for a family of four, as we were with our teenage daughters, who loved the platform beds in Dominique's daughters' rooms. A very comfortable, cozy place on a quiet street but with plenty of excellent eating options nearby and a good boulangerie around the corner. The Rue Mouffetarde, a few minutes walk away, is a lovely original Parisian medieval street with a good non-touristy food market market at the Gobelins end and lots of restaurants and small shops as you walk further along. Follow it all the way into the Quartier Latin, and you're close by the Pantheon, the Sorbonne and the Musee Cluny (the most beautiful museum in Paris), or head rightish and you're 10 minutes to Notre Dame. The Luxembourg Gardens are maybe 20 minutes walk. All in all a first-rate Air BnB, thank you Dominique.
