This was a good value apartment. There are several new upgrades- new bathroom which includes a washer and dryer, new kitchen with a dishwasher, new microwave and a new stove (it took us awhile to figure out how to use the stove but we tried You Tube and that helped) and the view is fantastic. Every evening you can enjoy the sparkling lights on the Eiffel Tower.
The bedroom has pocket doors opening up into the living room. We usually left them open but if one of us was napping we closed the doors.
The location is very good, not as busy as the Latin Quarter where we have stayed before. The Cheveleret Metro station is across the street and there is an outdoor market there twice a week, under the bridge. We used the metro and taxis and we walked to Notre Dame one day. It is a long but beautiful walk and you pass the Jardins des Plantes which is worth a visit.
There is a large Monoprix around the corner and several bakeries with sandwiches and coffee.
The restaurants are really wonderful. We went to Gino’s four times! At the south end of the street is Mauvais Graines (exceptional) and Odettes (charming with delicious food). Across the street from the apartment building is the Mandarin, a large Chinese restaurant with really good food as well.
