This apartment is in a WONDERFUL location. Rue Mouffetard, especially the southern end (turn right out the front door), is charming and bustling with vendors and activity. Each of the four days we were at Ulysse's place, we explored the numerous great cheese, wine, produce, and bread shops to put together our meals. Ulysse even left us a bottle of wine. There is a Franprix on the street and a Monoprix about 10 minutes to the south. The apartment is easy walking distance to key attractions, such as Notre Dame, Isle de la Cite, the Cluny Museum, the Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, etc. If you're looking for a central location with history, charm, and great food, this place cannot be beat. The apartment is quite modern. It is in an older building (no surprise for the Latin Quarter), but has been fully renovated inside. It has a modern kitchen and bathroom. The hot water heater is fantastic. No shortage of hot water or good water pressure in the shower or kitchen. We were well able to cook meals here. While the appliances are high end, the cookware, dishes, utensils, etc. were a bit hard to locate and older. The dishwasher and washer/dryer combo were easy to use and worked great. There is no couch/sofa and the apartment has only one chair with a back. The other chairs are small folding stools (stored in a closet), and an extra large ottoman. This seating arrangement worked fine for me and my husband, but outside of our meals at the pull-down table, we missed having a place to sit other than the bed. There is no door between the bedroom and kitchen. As others have noted, the apartment is on the third floor, atop a set of narrow stairs. This was no issue for us and is to be expected in this neighborhood. The apartment's two windows overlook a small, lush, and surprisingly quiet central courtyard. You cannot hear street noise in the apartment, even with both windows open. The neighbors we met were friendly and welcoming. The apartment is smaller than it looks in the photos, perhaps 200 square feet. The size worked fine for us and our 9-month-old baby (and the apartment was child-proof), but it wouldn't have worked if our party had been bigger. All of Ulysse's check-in and welcome instructions were clear and thoughtful. He contacted us the weekend prior to our trip to make sure we had what we needed from him and understood his instructions. He was easy to get a hold of prior to our two-week trip. His English is great. He seems like an affable, decent person. Unfortunately, we had to leave Ulysse's place for a new apartment on the Saturday after our Tuesday check-in. While it's listed as included in the amenities, his apartment DOES NOT have air conditioning. It has a small Dyson desk fan, which doesn't cool the apartment, only moves air somewhat in the bedroom. Air conditioning was an important consideration for...
