Gary's place seemed even better than advertised. The location could not be better with big second floor windows (US - first floor France -- they start with "0") that look out on the street. It's around the corner from Odeon Metro and there are endless cute shops in the neighborhood. Bed was very comfortable. Everything is new and up to date in the kitchen. Small work station was a bonus (luckily only had to really use it once!). Also close to La Cuisine de Phillipe (across from Luxembourg Gardens) which we always eat at. Great food, small and intimate, wonderfully French classic cuisine. The street is noisy with the windows open so best to shut them at night and rely on the fan. We recommend to anyone.
