Location,Location !!! The apartment is in the 5th, and a short walk to the Seine, Rue Mouffetard, Jardin des Plantes, Boulevard Saint-Germain, two metro lines, two grocery stores, and endless possibilities of restaurants, bakeries, and specialty shops to fulfill every culinary dream. Yet the apartment is on a quiet street across from a very green park where children play . The apartment itself is very well appointed and seems larger than depicted in the photographs. The kitchen has all the necessary appliances, though we hardly made use of them. The living area is comfortable and it's great fun looking out the window and watching the children in the park. The bedroom becomes a perfect sanctuary at night by closing the door to the living area and latching the outside shutters.
But now we come to the lack of a fifth star...the bed and pillows ! As some others have mentioned, the bed was, for us, rock-hard, unyielding. Extremely difficult to sleep in, until we located a second duvet, folded that in half, and used it to somewhat cushion the upper halves of our bodies. That somewhat alleviated the sleeping issue, but I really think that a foam or other cushioning mattress top would be a much appreciated addition and rate that additional star. And as hard as that bed was, the pillows were the exact opposite, totally non-supportive. There were three pillows each on each side, which we used,as well as two additional ones we found on the premises to try and elevate our heads. Perhaps we're a bit fussy, but I cannot function without a good nights' sleep.
Other than that, the apartment is spacious,comfortable,very quiet and safe/secure with multiple locked entry doors to access the apartment door...sort of a fortress. During our 11 day stay in mid-March 2017, there was comfortable radiator heat and fast, reliable, and I hope, secure internet/wi-fi. We did not use the TV and entertainment system.
The owner seems absolutely oriented to help and assist in any reasonable way he can to facilitate an enjoyable experience in his Paris apartment. Every time we called, texted, or e-mailed him, there was an almost instant response.
A great location to enjoy all that Paris has to offer.
