My husband and I spent the month of April 2015 in this apartment and found it to be very comfortable and a wonderful location. The pictures are true to the listing and the bed was firm and the room quiet. There was plenty of space for our clothes and the bookshelf in the living room gave us space to spread out.
The location is very nice with several Metro stations within a 5 minute walk and Luxemburg Gardens an easy 15-20 minute walk. This quiet working class neighborhood had all the necessary shops for food if you eat in and several fabulous restaurants to choose from. There is a pedestrian street a short walk away with more restaurants and specialty shops and on Tuesday close by is a Farmers Market with fish, produce, cheese, etc. It felt safe at all hours and we found the people all over Paris to be very friendly and polite to us and each other.
The building is older so we did hear the coming and goings of the other owners which lent a real city life experience for us who live out away from others. The charm of the building and this apartment made for a nice stay and we would certainly consider renting again. Jean-Paul was timely in his responses and very fair.
