Great location in a quiet neighborhood next to lots of action. The apartment is small - definitely suited for a solo traveler. And someone who is in good physical condition as the five fights of stairs - up a narrow, winding stairway - is the only way to access the unit. It's best to pack light! There is a shower and sink in the unit with a shared toilet down the hall. It's furnished with a small table, desk, twin bed, a couple folding chairs, and a small dresser. Also has wifi (very reliable and fast - remember to ask for the password), a microwave, a small refrigerator, hot plate, water boiler (to brew tea), some plates, bowls, pots & pans, and some kitchen utensils. You can do some limited cooking, but it's probably best to enjoy the local restaurants, such as Le Duex Magots (one of Ernest Hemingway's favorite haunts), cafes, patisseries, etc.

The location is the biggest attraction. This spot is an easy (30 minutes or less) walk to the Eiffel Tower, Invalides, Luxembourgh Gardens, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, the Shakespeare and Company book store (again, one of Hemingway's favorite spots), and the Latin Quarter. Lots of great shopping and dining within a 10 minute walk. The Saint Germaine des-Pris Metro station and a Monoprix grocery store are just a couple blocks away.

In short, a decent, small, quiet, safe room in a fantastic location.
