Location!! This apartment has it: a half-block from the Seine, easy walk to Notre-Dame, the Boul'Mich, Saint-Germain-des-prés, Jardin du Luxembourg, Louvre, Tuileries, and more. Every description of restaurant and bar-café within two blocks. Carrefour grocery about a 5-minute walk. Metro/bus/RER close by as well... Yet in the midst of all this the apartment looks out on a perfectly quiet cul-de-sac street (not the rue Guénégaud itself).This is the owner, Karine's main residence, so you ARE living in someone's apartment, which means personal possessions are everywhere, and clutter, but there is ample closet and shelf space in the living/dining/bedroom for guests' own use. I found the fold-out couch very comfortable to sleep on, but being a "senior" I chose to leave it open during my stay, which left only a bottomed-out armchair as easy seating. Kitchen is very small, with 2 induction cooktops and a good DeLonghi toaster oven; no microwave. Washing machine in k. works famously, and there is a drying rack over the tub in the bathroom -- where a good handheld shower is easy to use. Small fridge is in the hall. I did not attempt any cooking other than reheating prepared meals. Plenty of towels and linen provided. And the elevator, though small, never failed me over my 3 weeks' stay. The neighborhood, and the building, are very safe.Karine welcomed me well before check-in, and provided me with all essential information: Pay attention!! Karine, merci pour votre accueil!
