The location is terrific: a 10 minute walk South from Notre Dame de Paris. It is just West of the Sorbonne area, in the Latin Quarter, and extremely quiet. One block to Place de la Contrescarpe, a tiny traffic circle surrounded by a dozen cafes and shops, busy with young people every evening. Within 3 blocks, there are dozens of places to eat.The apartment itself is in a very old building, and is up one flight of spiral stairs. All systems have been modernized to the extent possible.The typically small kitchen has a half-height refrigerator, microwave, a good stove, sink & dishwasher, and a fancy Krups espresso/coffee maker. The bath has separate tub & shower, and the towels were . Hot water works well.Modernization includes heavy 2-pane glass windows which open & close easily and protect against heat/cold/noise.The washer is small, but serviceable; the dryer takes forever and (like AC and washer) cannot be run after 8 PM due to building rules. There is a portable AC unit in the living room, but we didn't need to try it. Rooms heat from hot water, and the control is just heat strength - there is apparently no thermostat, so you need to adjust for yourself during the night. Bed is OK.Internet & TV are fine, with French stations. BUT, we could not find any Apple AirPlay or Miracast (WiDi) connection to use our own streaming services via phone/pc.OTHER CONS: In spite of modernization, look of the place is somewhat drab & dark. Closets & cabinets are hard to open.
