  It all depends on what you're seeking in Paris. Tremendously quiet place. 3-4 blocks to the Seine. At the Seine you are immediately in the Musee en Plein Aire which is wonderful in daytime or nightime. 3 blocks from the Jardin des Plantes, another great place which includes the Galerie d'Evolution, a truly unique museum. Restaurant up the block, Le Refuge du Passe', on Fer a Moulin, is a find (check deals on Le Guide La Fourchette website) . Frequently bought stuff on Rue Mouffetard to eat at home. Landlord instantaneously available for any issue. Internet good. Quiet neighbors. No complaints.

  We stayed here in October during a miserable rainy week in Paris. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the bed was very comfortable. Only downsides were no-so-great pillows on the bed and very thin bath towels. Plus factors were a terrific English-speaking owner who fixed problems and glitches with wi-fi and phone instantly. I would suggest that he have a list in the apartment of nearby restaurants and shops and perhaps a local guide to where the RER and subway stops are. It is not in a terribly convenient neighborhood, but it is quiet and safe and bright. There are some good nearby restaurants but we had to find them on our own.

  I stayed in this lovely cosy apartment for three months and it was a great experience. Everything said so far about this apartment and its host is true! In addition to the great location (near 2 metro and a RER station, Jardins des Plantes, the Mosque, and the Mouffetard markets), the area is also very quiet and safe (you will see a lot of families with small children around the area). The amenity is unusually complete, even with a dishwasher and a clothes washer / dryer. What I found the most charming is the momentos left in the apartment by previous renters--sightseeing books and maps, mystery novels, restaurant business cards etc. Staying there is like being part of a community of Paris Flaneurs! I whole heartedly recommend it!

  This is a lovely apartment with a gracious host. I stayed two months and hope to return again soon. Because it is on the fifth floor and there are large windows in every room, the flat is filled with light and looks out over lush trees. The apartment is quiet and well-equipped. In addition to nearby metro stops, there are also nearby bus lines, which provide a much more scenic way for tourists to travel about Paris. The neighborhood is charming and you are close to rue Mouffetard, Marché Monge, Jardin du Plantes, the Grand Mosquée (and its tea-room and hammam), the Gobelins and much more. I highly recommend this apartment. Don't miss the adorable secret garden behind the building!

  Je suis restee dans cet appartement pour trois semaines, pendant le mois de Juillet 2011. Je vais a Paris une fois par an a cause de mon travail dans une maison d' editions et c' est le meilleur endroit de tout point de vue que j' ai habite a Paris. L' appartement tres claire, tres bien equipe avec tous les comforts au centre de Paris dans une petite rue tres calme et tres belle. Son proprietaire tres gentil. Je le recommande de tout mon coeur.

  My husband and I spent a great 7 days in Paris. We found the apartment to be in great location, close to the Metro, buses and only a short walk to the Mouffetard Market area where we ended up most nights for dinner. The apartment was very comfortable and clean and spacious. Michel was extremely helpful and friendly and was only too happy to answer all our dumb questions. The only thing missing in the kitchen was a small oven although it did have a microwave and hotplates. We would have no hesitation in recommending this great apartment to our friends or anyone looking for great accomodation in Paris. in fact we have already recommended it to friends who are planning a trip for next year. We will definately be staying there on our next visit to Paris.

  We very much enjoyed staying in this apartment. The apartment is comfortable,clean,well maintained, and well equipped. The elevator was a definite plus. Michel was extremely nice and very accommodating. I loved the location non-touristy, on a very quiet street but close to the Seine and many other areas for shopping and strolling. We would definitely stay here again.

  I would agree with all the other 5-star reviews for this apartment. It is located on a quiet street, and we slept well. It was a great place to come home to after our exhausting urban hikes across the city. The kitchen was much larger than most of the other apartments we considered in this price range, which was great for storing and preparing the fresh food we bought at the rue Mouffetard and other markets. The nearly all-glass elevator was indeed just large enough to fit two average-sized adults, but it was modern and very functional, and certainly beat climbing the stairs. Here are some photos of the apartment that I took during our stay, which I think is the best way to show how clean, well-kept, and comfortable the apartment is: http://imgur.com/a/UsSs6/

  Returning for a fortnight's stay after an absence of two years, we had no difficulty confirming our original assessment that this apartment was a very fortunate discovery. If anything, it is even more attractive as a base from which to enjoy Paris because it now has wi-fi (our connection status was consistently "excellent") and is equipped with a generous range of current French travel guides. For a variety of reasons the ambiance and location of Michel's apartment is hard to beat. We loved being on the fifth floor and looking out to a screen of plane trees, chimney pots and marigolds in the window boxes opposite and down onto the attractive street life of Rue Poliveau and we particularly appreciated the apartment's quietness and convenient location. Surprisingly free of tourist traffic, this area has the great advantage of being a stone's throw from some very worthwhile destinations - among them Rue Mouffetard, Jardin des Plantes and the mosque at the Institut du Monde Arabe - and a reasonable walking distance from numerous other landmarks like the Pantheon, Luxembourg Gardens, the Sorbonne, Notre Dame, the Seine and Bastille. As others have noted, the apartment's owner, Michel is a perfect host and he once again spared no effort in ensuring we had everything we needed in terms of comfort and convenience. He deserves high praise for his ability to anticipate and provide for exactly what is required by his guests. My 2008 comments about the apartment's practical assets - the fact that it is clean, attractive, well equipped and comfortable are still just as valid. I'd like to add that it was also a really nice place to return to each evening after we'd spent several hours exploring Paris. We look forward to future visits and hope very much that the apartment will continue to be available. Highly recommended to others.

  "Our stay at Michel's was a wonderful experience. Everything was as advertised on the VRBO website. Michel was the perfect host with good information on the area and a library with a good selection of Paris books and maps. The area was a working Paris neighbourhood with less tourists than found in other areas, which was perfect for us. The shopping on the Mouffetard is an experience with wonderful foods and helpful people. We would return again without hesitation
