Location, location, location. This quirky apartment sits off a private courtyard in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It is walking distance from virtually all Paris's greatest hits, with a genuine neighborhood feel. Step inside, and the city disappears. Go outside, and you're in the middle of everything. A short block to the Metro station, and the city is yours.
The place itself is best suited for those seeking a bohemian Parisian experience. (It appears to be a photographer's workshop.) It's pretty worn. The main sleeping area is in a roomy catacomb. The bathroom, inc. the shower, is microscopic. While we were there, the wifi was spotty at best (which definitely complicated travel arrangements) and anticipated repairs never happened. In short, this is not a place for hanging out. But it is a great place to camp out while exploring the city.
If you're on a budget, this is the place for the starving artist in you.
