I had a lovely stay here for about 9 days. This apartment is an absolutely excellent location -- near the Tour Montparnasse, Le Bon Marché (and its delicious Grande Epicerie), and St Germain. There are a lot of upscale shops, amazingly good transportation options for both buses and subways, and it's a very safe neighborhood. The apartment is small, like many Parisian apartments, but perfect for one person. The bathroom is newly renovated and works really well; the small shower is about a foot and a half off the ground, so you have to step in and out carefully, but it's very clean and functional. The apartment faces a very quiet courtyard so there is zero noise while you sleep -- a huge luxury for central Paris. The property manager is very helpful and was especially helpful when I managed to lock myself out of the apartment -- on Christmas Eve, no less; he and his staff were really on top of that. You will want to nail down your communications, as it's a busy property management company, but they are very much intent on being welcoming. And oh, the cafés on the corners are terrific! Good service and good for people watching. Overall, I would recommend this apartment to any traveler, particularly women who are looking for a great, safe home base in the city for shopping, exploring Paris, and trying out the delicious food.
