I stayed in this apartment for 3 nights. I read the comments that it was small with low ceilings, but I was quite surprised by how small it actually was, and felt a little claustrophobic the first day. As mentioned previously, there is no comfortable place to sit. There is a small wooden picnic-type table with two wooden picnic chairs which are not comfortable. There is a small upholstered chair which was too small and did not look comfortable (I'm petite at 5'3"). The shower is very tight, not suited for a large person. If you plan to be out most of the day, and needed a place to sleep, with a kitchen space, then this is fine. To me, it was preferable than a small hotel room with no kitchen facility, though I didn't cook. The location is fantastic, right next to the Jardin des Plantes, and there are boulangeries, cafes, Carrefour express, and a pharmacy very close by. Rue Mouffetard is less than 10 minutes away. You should have realistic expectation for the price. Bernadette is a very caring host which added to the good experience. We spoke French and got to know each other a little.
