Apartment was adorable and exactly as appears in the pictures. Katharina met me at the flat and gave suggestions on the area. The area is great with many many restaurants and bars within less than two minutes walk. The Windows do face the street so the late night weekend noise can be a problem if you are a light sleeper and keep the windows open - but I was also there during the soccer championships so there was more than normal "celebrations" at all the bars! Very easy walk to everything - Norte dame, Luxembourg gardens, pantheon less than ten minute walk. Overall was a great home away from home for my two weeks there.
