Location is wonderful! A sweet quiet street with lots of boulangeries and places to get coffee. A two minute walk up the hill opens up into a great piazza with lots of places to eat, get groceries, and people watch. The neighborhood restaurant across the street, Jardin Des Plates, was my favorite meal of the week (Awesome ambiance, kind people and incredible homemade pasta). We enjoyed walking to St. Germain and could walk to Notre Dame in under 20 minutes. Also a metro station very close. The apartment itself is fine. It is clean and safe, but otherwise very sparse - nothing extra. I would definitely bring your own pillows, washcloths, and an extra towel. Only two small towels & 1 hand towel are provided. And plan to take very fast showers (very little hot water). The location is the big selling point for this apartment. Irene was very nice, she answered my emails quickly and made a special point to make sure we knew not to go to certain areas when the Paris demonstrations were happening.
