This apartment has a spectacular view and Guillaume and Julie were incredibly helpful and friendly. They made great recommendations about restaurants and responded to questions we had immediately.We felt like we were renting from friends. We can't express enough how being on the 5th floor with views of Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur and several other churches I can't name and so close to Musee Cluny you can practically fall into the property contributes to morning coffee and croissants at the apartment. I am not sure I would call the apartment "luxury" as they do in their advertisement; if you want 5 star perfection, you might be disappointed. But if you like old world character, as we do, mixed with modern furnishings and a new kitchen that is well outfitted then this is the place. It's all that one would imagine for a "left-bank" experience. We walked everywhere because the apartment is so well situated. We went to Notre Dame several times, walked to the Pantheon and Luxembourg Gardens and over the bridge to Place de Voges. But the St. Michel Metro is also just two blocks away for venturing further out. Finally, if you like films, this neighbourhood is filled with independent theatres and Julie and Guillaume have an excellent collection of Hitchcock movies and books on all your favourite French and Italian movie directors. Finally, the mattress in the bedroom is super comfortable and the water out of the shower nice and hot.
