We loved this place and would rent it again. The view makes it special: straight across is the Pantheon; when you stand by the window, you see the Seine on one side and Notre Dame to the other; from the bed the view is all green space. The location is perfect, all of Paris accessible by foot or metro; and the apt. is quiet - no noise from neighbors or restaurants, though we could at times hear street musicians which we loved. Lots of light, including a large sky light above the bed (which also opens and helps with fresh air). Great wifi, good beds; good lighting (including next to the bed); enough basics in the kitchen to have breakfast or carry-in; and we had surprisingly good water pressure with the shower (it is on the 7th floor and this is Paris). And Helene and her family are gracious and helpful. But I cannot give it a 5: it is a basic place, with an unfinished floor, very simple furnishings: we knew that ahead of time, but that is just what it is. And though the listing says no smoking, smoking is allowed (two ashtrays in the unit), and the smell of smoke from prior tenants lingered for a day despite the apt. being well-aired. Still, we would return. A terrific value.
