We very much enjoyed our stay in this apartment. Its description and pictures are accurate, and the apartment is indeed very spacious (no fish eye trick!) and tastefully decorated. We (four people) stayed 9 days and never felt cramped, everyone feeling at home when back from spending a long day visiting Paris. It is rare to have 2 real bedrooms, 2 real bathrooms, a spacious living room and dining room, and a large kitchen in that part of the city. We did feel like old time locals in the 6th.
Security is good with two doors necessitating entry codes.
The apartment is very well located, close to Bld St Germain, Le Bon Marché, shopping areas, and Montparnasse.
On busy rue de Rennes, you will hear car traffic in the morning but it is bearable and forgettable as the windows are thick glass. However, a neighboring apartment is not very neighborly as TV is on loud at 7am sharp with its window open (August summertime stay). That same neighbor twice played very loud music on a loop from midnight to 2am — the music was good but, after the second or third loop, you may not find it “fun” anymore: the apartment owner should definitely bring this up with the “Condo Board”, as it has to be a nuisance to everyone in the building. However, we will definitely stay in the apartment again and hope this issue will have been taken care of by then.
Pierre has been extremely nice, although reserved by nature. He has promptly changed his schedule to arrange for and help my 84-year old mother to check in before the rest of the family. He has also promptly fixed a couple of things we pointed to in the apartment, and delivered a fresh set of towels upon request. Finally he helped my spouse bring down our numerous suitcases upon checkout while I was out arranging our trip back to the airport.
So, in summary, a raving review.
