The neighborhood was quite nice, and the apartment is in fact very close to Les Gobelins. There are also some nice bakeries, local stores, au p'tit grec, etc. close by. Check in was very smooth (Dominique;s instructions were easy to follow). However. the apartment is very, very small, and also very hot and humid, as the air conditioning unit is quite weak. In addition to the lack of space - the studio feels rather sterile - you get the sense that the only people who stay here are - in fact - Airbnb guests, as opposed to an actual Parisien. The space lacks the lived-in feel of the other Airbnb listings we stayed at; relative to our other stays, we compared this one to staying in a slightly less commercialized hotel.
