As others have said, the location of this apartment is perfect! we thoroughly enjoyed the library festive activity just outside the door along Rue Mouffetard and in Place de la Contrascarpe. However, after entering the building and getting to the small courtyard and the apartment, it was quite and relaxing. We slept like French royality! there's so much to see and do, that will need to return again soon. We hope to stay again in this wonderful little spot.
