Thus is a gem of an apartment in an amazing location. I stayed with my teenage daughter and a friend and it was perfect for exploring Paris and for chilling out an enjoying the atmosphere of the Place de Contrascarpe. Metro and any other amenities you could want are nearby. The apartment is in a very old building on the top floor (third floor) so does have your normal old building niggles but adds to the charm and in general it is very well kept, clean and well equipped. We will definitely be coming back!
