Four of us, all adult women aged 45 to 60, recently stayed at this apartment and it really worked for all that we wanted to see. Plenty of things to walk directly to - Notre Dame, Luxembourg Gardens, Panthenon. Easy access to Metro for roaming around other neighborhoods. So many restaurants in the Latin Quarter to choose from. Nearby small convenience store in which to buy a bottle of wine, water, cookies...whatever we needed at the end of the night. The winding stairs up to the 4th floor apartment (76 I think) are definitely a taste of Parisian charm. We didn't mind it at all except the walk up with a heavy suitcase on day one. But it is doable! The pull out sofa was very comfortable. And the area was very quiet but with a fairly active restaurant right below I wonder what the warmer months are like when you want the windows open? All in all we were very happy with the place. With the overwhelming options of places to choose from we are very happy that we landed here!
