We had a fabulous stay. The neighborhood is great, quiet and a real feeling of Parisian life, not too touristy but close enough to all the sights. Several metro stops within a few blocks. There are plenty of great places to eat and shop right out the front door. The Jardin des Plantes right across the street offers a wonderful zoo and natural sciences museum plus beautiful gardens to wander through. There is also a very nice park with playground and the Arenes de Lutece a couple of blocks away where you can enjoy watching people playing petanque. Very family friendly. You can go to a wonderful farmers market almost everyday Marche Monge and Marche Maubert both within walking.
The apartment itself is quiet and filled with natural light. The kitchen is compact but had everything we needed and very functional. The washer/dryer combo worked well and I loved being able to throw a load of laundry in the morning before we left and come home to a dry load. The beds were very comfortable even the pull out couch. We would be happy to stay here again and will recommend to anyone.
