The location is amazing --- great neighborhood right next to the port royal RER and luxembourg garden . The apartment is set back in a courtyard away from the street so it is private and quiet --- extremely good value. The decor is eclectic --- many of the wall decorations are modern paintings made by the owner, which are very nice and gives the experience a nice artistic vibe. The bedroom on the top floor is comfortable, although if you are not fully mobile, you might have trouble navigating the thin spiral staircase (getting suitcases up and down is a bit of a challenge, even for the young and fit). The bathroom is upstairs next to the bedroom --- currently the door does not close, so the apartment is probably not so good for multiple people who don't know each other well. The host is lovely.
