This is a lovely, nice-size, one-bedroom apartment in a fantastic location near St. Sulpice church and the Odeon Metro stop; Luxembourg Garden is just up the street. The apartment is very clean and freshly painted, with new appliances, new linens and air conditioning that works well (which was a godsend on the hot days that Paris seems to have more and more of these days). There is a foldout couch in the living room, so a couple could stay here with one extra friend or a teen who can climb stairs (see below.) The bathroom is very very nice. It’s recently updated, and soap, shampoo and shower gel were provided. And the kitchen has what you need, including a washer, dryer, dishwasher, coffee maker, etc. Cecile is a friendly and responsive owner. She responded to questions and emails promptly and anticipated what we would want to know just before we'd need to know it with pro-active emails about our check-in and check-out. She also can arrange for a driver if needed. Everything just seems to be (and is) on the up-and-up with Cecile. Checking in is not stressful because you do not need to arrange to meet Cecile in person. She sends instructions that allow you to check in yourself. Everything in the apartment is self-explanatory and easy to use, and the key was easy to access with a code she gave me, so I liked the self-check-in option. Every apartment has a down side, though, right? And this apartment’s downside is its stairs. The apartment is located on the top floor and the building has no elevator, so you must climb four flights of a circular staircase. It’s a workout but it’s doable (we did it a couple times a day). However, if you have any trouble climbing stairs, this apartment is not for you. The noise level is typical for this neighborhood. You’re on the fourth floor, which helps, but the bedroom faces the street, and buses travel the street below, so you need to sleep with the windows closed unless you want to be woken in the morning, especially on bottle recycling day. That said, I would absolutely stay here again because of the apartment’s location, amenities and clean, lovely condition.
