This apartment is wonderful. While it is small, it is very comfortable and has a WONDERFUL view. The bed was quite comfortable, and there was a pull out bed on the sofa that was a nice surprise. The kitchen was not very well equipped, but if you are not planning on cooking, it is not a problem. The neighborhood is divine. It is clear that it is not a huge tourist area, and that a lot of locals live there and hang out there. It is around the corner from Rue du Commerce, which has wonderful shopping. The bars and cafes on every corner and great, and the Monoprix down the road is good for groceries. The subway is across the street and it is easy to walk to Montparnasse and the Latin Quarter.
