Yves' apartment was in a perfect location between the Jardin du Luxembourg and Le Jardin des Plantes for our family of four (children 4 and 7) and also close to the metro.
The stairs are as advertised by Yves; winding and up four stories, but the kids and us made it challenge at the end of each day and the balcony view onto the street was worth the climb!
Thank you Yves!
