This place is in the old Latin quarter and has a fabulous feel to it. Right next door to where Ernest Hemingway lived when he first moved to Paris. The apartment is located on the first floor and you do have to use the stairs. The kitchen is small but usable, with washing machine and dishwasher in the apartment. The windows open onto the square or plaza which is covered in places to eat, coffee, bars and we loved the atmosphere.
Even when we ate the apartment we had the windows open and you felt like you were apart of the plaza.
Some of the place underneath your apartment can be a bit expensive for alcohol as are some of the others, so do check prices before you order. Go a little further a field and you wont be to disappointed.
There are fresh market down the road and you should shop there. There are some nice supermarkets close by.
Do make sure that you do walk each block from your apartment North, south, east and West, you will be surprised what's there. And how old the place is.
A marvellous church and pub right next to it, within in a couple of minutes walk.
You can use the public transport from the train station and airport its easy. The metro trains are easy to use and will save you some walking. Cardinal Lemoine is the stop. Its the same name as the street your on. If you want to do the catacombs book tickets before you arrive as with the Eiffel tower
On sunday go and visit the Notre dame cathedral when the service is on, its incredible to hear the singing we were really humbled by this experience.
Sunday evening we saw the church near us and they had choir practise on, we sat there for 30 mins just listening.
The apartment isn't new but I would go back and stay there again, really had a god time.
