Quiet, newly decorated apartment in Paris left bank, right at the park

I have rented several properties in the 5th arrondissement for the month of Oct. but this is by far the best so far. Located on a side street off the very busy rue Monge, it is quiet and very well situated. Close proximity to the wonderful Jardin des Plantes is a real plus. It was part of every daily walk. I can see the metro entrance from my window just steps away. The apartment is in excellent condition. The kitchen is the best I have had in Paris - very conducive to cooking. The bedroom has a very comfortable large bed. The large glass table there served well as a desk during my visit. The bathroom has a large closet for storage of clothes. The lighting in all of the rooms and entry way is excellent. I hope to be able to rent this apartment another year. The only thing missing was instructions on using the clothes washer - but I managed. A larger dining table in the living room would be a nice addition although space might limit that. I have given this apartment a 5 star rating.

We really enjoyed this perfectly situated apartment in the Latin Quarter. The location is directly across the street from the Place Monge metro station exit and around the corner from Jardin de Plantes. Easy access to Paris city centre. We used the Velib bikes extensively and their was a station around the corner which was a perfect place to start and end the day by bike. This apartment was on the main floor of the building and was bright with big windows on a quiet side street. We found it to be quiet at night, though the apartment did get a bit warm with the windows closed until we figured out how to turn down the radiator in the bedroom. The bed was very comfortable and the room offered more than enough space for suitcases and such. This apartment is actually 3 separate rooms as the kitchen is separate with a very small dining area. But overall the space was perfect for 2, cozy, clean and spacious. While we didn't cook that much in the kitchen it was a good spot to have breakfast or late night charcuterie. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need. We had trouble getting the washing machine door open after it was used and had to start the cycle again. It didn't drain the clothes all together that well, but really who wants to do laundry on vacation so not a huge issue. Shower/bath had plenty of hot water and good pressure. We received our damage deposit back with no issues at all, in a timely manner. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had before or after our trip and check in was very easy. Overall is was a great and effortless experience and I would have no hesitation recommending this property to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Paris!

The apartment was very central to all the main attractions in Paris and in easy walking distance to bustling cafes, restaurants and the Metro. It was on a lovely quiet street next to a park, we felt like locals rather than tourists. Communication with the owner Thomas, was always prompt and very helpful. A reassuring aspect when making arrangements on the Internet. There was a person to meet us on arrival and go through all the features of the property in a friendly and supportive manner. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying there again in the future.

This apartment was exactly as described in VRBO listing. It was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals if we wanted. It is conveniently located to grocery stores, cafes, and bakeries as well as being directly across the street from the subway entrance and a park where local families visited after their work day was over. It is very much in the heart of local French neighborhoods so getting immersed in the French culture and conversing with those who lived in the area was a great experience. It was wonderful to go to one of the local cafes and enjoy a glass of wine with the locals and away from most of the traditional tourist sites at the end of the day. There was an entrance to the subway about a block's walk where tickets could be purchased or if you already had tickets/pass there is a subway entrance directly across from the apartment's front door. Thomas was great to work with through out the whole rental process. He had someone meet us at the apartment with the key and rental agreement as soon as we arrived in Paris (I'm sorry I have forgotten her name, but she was very welcoming and made the check-in process so easy as well as having some great recommendations about the area). The apartment is on the first floor of the building and slightly above street level so the windows could be kept open at night and while we were there during the day (but closed obviously when were gone). It was still warm in Paris while we were there (upper 80's daytime) and since the apartment is not air conditioned (most are not) the only thing lacking in the apartment was a fan since it took awhile to cool off after the sun went down and I am in 'hot flash mode' during this time in my life as well:)! This was THE perfect time to visit Paris - weather was perfect, schools are back in session so way less crowded. We hardly stood in any lines to get into any site including the Eiffel Tower and we got to see everything we had planned to see during our 4 day visit. I would DEFINITELY recommend Thomas' apartment to anyone visiting Paris.
