Positive:Location is great, close to supermarkets, places to eat in Mouffetard st, close to bus stations, within walking distance from Jardin de Luxembourg train B directly to CDG airport.The interior garden is extraordinary, very big and full of flowers, bushes, trees and birds; the best feature of this accommodation.Very good communication with Diane and Gaspard from the agency.Negative: The wi-fi didn’t work at all during my stay of 5 weeks (neither TV, streaming service). After 2.5 weeks the agency provided a “4G dongle” to use for wi-fi.Bad cleaning in the parts not visible in the pictures, such as the lower part of the kitchen (that needs a thorough cleaning) and the closet in the bathroom. In general, the pictures in bathroom and kitchen seem to be taken some time ago, currently almost everything is more worn out.The fridge is very rusty, it needs to be replaced, as well as some parts of the kitchen furniture.The mattress cover on the bed is old, with spots and yellow stains; the same goes for the duvet, full of various stains.

The apartment is great, extremely well located - particularly for academics interactin with the ENS, or even Jussieu - quiet, opening to a beautiful garden, very conveniently furnished and equipped and the exchanges with the rental agency are efficent and professional. A few points to be aware of: check-in and check-out are quite long, about one hour each. One then receives a very long document with pictures of the property but, strangley, most are from stays of others. Heating is electric and electricity is payed separately from the rent - for colder months it easily can go over 150euros. There is a TV but it’s difficult to use. As a whole, the negatives were very minor and the experience was great !

Loved the apartment and location was great!

I stayed in this lovely, quaint, well-equipped and well- situated studio apartment for two months. it's compact yet spacious. There are four large windows so the unit gets lots of light. after a long day of exploring, you can relax in the living area while looking out onto a spacious and well -maintained shared garden space. A mere three minute walk from the unit is a local Franprix (small market). A three minute walk in the other direction there are cafes/bars/restaurants/shops. Place Monge where you will find a metro stop, the outdoor market on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, a pharmacy and more cafes is only five minute walk from the unit. Many local attractions are within walking distance.Diane the Host was professional, polite and quick to respond to any inquiries The check-in/out process was very thourough and well-handled by Alejandro. I hope to return to this corner of the world, this unit next year. Silvia
