Family of 3 (w/ 19yo) traveling to a few destinations through Europe. The location was perfect. We enjoyed this part of the Latin quarter as it’s on one of the more interesting shopping/restaurant streets. The apartment is very close (a 5-ish min walk) to two different Metro lines making getting around Paris very easy. The place overlooks Place de la Contrescarpe, which was beautiful in April with blooming trees and a small fountain. The very active square is also surrounded with cafes and a boulangerie. Regarding the place itself, it’s remarkably quiet when the windows are fully closed, but as said before, it’s a very active square, so you’ll hear some activity. I like quiet, and this was not a problem for us at night. The apartment is shabby-chic-ish. Creaky floors, furnishings worn, beds not all that comfortable. The bathroom tub was great though! It’s had all we needed. Stay here for the location (and maybe tub), and not for hanging out inside.
One more thing… Alex was great. Super easy communication and went out of his way to show us everything in the place and describe the immediate neighborhood to us. Was a great introduction.
