This was a perfect place for my daughter (16) and I to stay on a first (for her) trip to Paris, for what I was looking for:
* romantic (in the bigger sense) literary /artistic Paris
* In a little, vibrant and famous square of the Latin Quarter with Hemmingway’s House nearby, and wonderful cafes, bars, restaurants nearby
* walkable to Notre dame and the Seine (and as far as you want after that - we walked to most things every day but feet now aching!) in 15 mins through lovely little streets
* top of the building in the garret so to speak. A climb every time to be sure, but views of the square on one side (if you sleep on the sofa bed you can hear the noise of the square but this is normal if you want to be in this great location - and it is just voices not really traffic or music etc) and rooftops the other side in the double bedroom
* peaceful bedroom with sink and comfy bed and pillows
* well equipped kitchen with coffee maker and thoughtful coffee supply, dishwasher tablets.. Having said that, no way did we cook for our few days
* small loo and shower outside the flat down a few stairs - fine for us - and it had the best views. Loo with a view as someone said
* Laurent was very welcoming, friendly and helpful over various things and gave us good tips. We could contact him any time. Texts did not work for some reason but his to me did and I emailed him.
* bistro recommended by Laurent was excellent food
