The apartment is wonderful. Just as advertised. We are a family of four with two Teens. It was tight but fine. The location is superb with the seine a few blocks away and the Jardin des Plantes across the street for a beautiful stroll at any time. It is very much a neighborhood. We stayed for 8 nights and became friendly with the fruit vendor and a couple of cafe regulars. The Sorbonne is nearby so the streets have life much of the time. But it was never rowdy. Our host was attentive and immediately sent a friend to help us when we couldn't figure out the stove. We completely recommend a stay here. The alley leading to the apartment is picture perfect.
