This place is great! In a very safe and quiet street, one block away from a main street so it has great and easy access to public transportation. Xavier was quick to respond to all our communication, very kind, helpful and prompt.
The place is extremely close to the Pantheon and Luxemburg Gardens. You can find delicious restaurants near by (go to the crepes in the corner near by). It is also not far from a Marks and Spencer grocery store too which is very convenient. For quick needs there is an Organic grocery store near by and a Pharmacy too. Oh and there is an ATM right around the corner! Seriously... lots of services near by. Overall the location is great. Walking distance from nice restaurants which are located through the back strees of the Pantheon, in the heart of the Quartier Latin. You can walk to Notre Dame, Shakespeare and Co Coffee Shop and Saint-Chapelle.
The place is relatively small for USA standards, (but then like most in Europe) and located on the 1st floor so you will have about 12 steps up. I know I just said "small" but honestly it is PLENTY big for a party of 2. The kitchen is convenient but we did not cook once so I can't comment on how well equipped it was or not. The shower is AMAZING.
You have a washer/dryer unit which we didn't use but it's there should you need it.
Xavier helped us arrange transport from the airport which was extremely convenient. Upon our exit to the main airport area there was a very nice guy who had a sign with our name which also made us feel important LOL. There was a person waiting for us at the apartment (who was continuously monitoring our ETA with the driver) to show us into the place and helped us with the bags. We got our keys and off we went to explore. Seriously it was super easy and most efficient.
The place is extremely clean. The bed is comfortable (my husband is 6.3" and he said the bed was great. I'm short so I can sleep anywhere. The pillows were soft just like I like them. We had restful nights and trust me, you need that after the miles and miles you walk per day!
We visited in late November so it was cold outside, 40F. The place has heaters in each room so it keeps nice and warm, perfect at night.
We found hotels at comparable rates (we stayed in hotels later in our trip) but the rooms in our hotels were tiny! So... for less $$ than a fancy hotel you can stay here, save money, have LOTS more space and live like the locals. Really is a no brainer. I'd stay here again for sure!
