The location is great, in the 5th arrondissement, with lots of restaurants nearby. A bit touristy area, but hey, we’re tourists! Walking distance to lots of top spots. The stairs are a bit of a problem, as it’s on the fourth floor as counted in U.S. But the apartment is very quiet and secure, inside an enclosed and locked courtyard. Nadia was very helpful when we had a minor flood from a blocked shower drain; everything was fixed right away. Kitchen appliances are a little limited if you wanted to cook (we didn’t) but the coffee pot was all we really needed, plus fridge of course. The washing machine was a nice surprise, and worked fine. We finished drying clothes on rack she provided. You can’t check in until 6 p.m., which seemed unusual. Note to someone taking train to or from CDG airport: the Saint-Michel-Notre Dame station has an elevator/lift on Rue Xavier Privas which is very helpful for those with luggage.
