anne and jean-luc are incredible hosts and very responsive. the apartment has been in the family for multiple generations and the building has amazing history. that said, if you are looking for a more typical, minimalist / modern listing, this is probably not your place. the location is very central and hard to find better especially at this price point in paris. within minutes of the metro 7 line and the seine. close by is the sorbonne so plenty of bars, restaurants and even the neighborhood farmer’s market on saturdays.
