If you love food, there isn't a better place in Paris to spend some days visiting the marche on the Place Monge or all the vendors--of fruit, fish, farfalle, you name it, the Rue Mouffetard has it--than staying here. Also, for any literature fans, the Place de le Contrescarpe which opens A Moveable Feast, and Hemingway's apartment with Hadley and their baby, and the apartment where James Joyce wrote Ulysses, are just up the street. The apartment is small, but thoughtfully designed to be quite convenient. It's decorated functionally, which is fine. The one thing that might throw some people is that the toilet is a chemical one, so you have to put the used toilet paper in a bin, not flush it. I stayed here for 9 days while my kitchen was being renovated, and I loved it.
