Exquisite Penthouse Apt In The Center Of Latin Quarter : Best Deal For 4

Located in the very center of the Latin Quarter, close to the famous Panthéon, charming Place de la Contrescarpe, Sorbonne University, Saint Germain and the gorgeous Luxembourg gardens, this apartment offers a unique opportunity:

• It is an exceptional deal: the apartment was designed with extra care to comfortably sleep up to 3/4 guests (1 queen bed and 2 couches).

• The apt is located in a stone building constructed in the 1800s. It is on the 5th floor and offers a nice view above the square and roofs. The building was fully refurbished and redesigned by an architect in 2016. Four similar apartments sleeping for 3 to 6 guests depending on the apt are available in the same building.

The owners have preserved the traditional French apartment style with the beautifully exposed wooden beams. The apartment is super functional. They have also preserved the elegant French terra cotta tiled floor with a variation of colour and thickness in certain parts of the apartment. This floor style dates back to around 150 years, if not more, and is of great historical significance.

The apt location is a perfect base to visit Paris: based in the heart of the old Paris, in the Latin Quarter, facing Notre Dame, it is a very lively area.

Walk to “Rue Mouffetard” & “place de la Contrescarpe” to have an outside dinner, stroll in the nearby and beautiful “Jardin du Luxembourg”, “Jardin des Plantes” or “Arenes de Lutece”, visit the trendy Ile Saint Louis, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Cluny Museum of Medieval Arts, the Pantheon, the Sorbonne university, le “Paradis Latin” Cabaret and the Saint Germain area. They are all steps away.

Stroll along the banks of the Seine, enjoy a drink on one of the many barges or dance Tango in the “Tino Rossi” square in summer before going to the Marais where are the best clothes shops of Paris. All at walking distance.

It stands 10 minutes by subway to most interesting Paris locations AND is a very charming area to be appreciated after a whole day shopping and walking through museums. One finds plenty of restaurants, shops, cinemas and many nearby cultural sites to visit.

Right down the building are located many shops, restaurants, bakeries, delies and more. We advise to try “Les Pipos” restaurant, typical traditional French food.

More about the apartment…

This penthouse is incredible. Its large volumes and high roof, the brightness of the light and the quality of the decoration bring a unique touch. The decoration was kept pure to enhance the beauty of the volume. Perfect for a honeymoon, it may also sleep a 3rd adult or 2 kids on couches.

On entering the apartment, one is greeted by a small corridor that serves the toilet to the right, then the well equipped kitchen, and leads to the huge living area.

The Living area offers a generous space. It has 2 windows with view over Paris and the surroundings. Two extra roof windows (with automatic shades) bring sky light.

The apt opens on the charming Place de l'Ecole Polytechnique which offers various terraces. No building blocks the view: it is open on the Rue de la Montagne Sainte Genevieve, and the famous and beautiful courtyard of the Ecole Polytechnique (host to many international conferences of researchers).

On the right of the living area, a corner sofa and a table seat 4 guests. If needed, the couches may be used on request to sleep an extra adult or 2 kids. There is a wall mounted TV. Walls are decorated with a huge ancient Paris map. On the right the queen size bed is of top quality.

The bathroom is fully tiled with stone. It is on the left of the bed. It offers a bath as we as a large Italian type shower. The bathroom additional windows bring nice light and even sun in the morning.

For information : As a bonus, Phone calls to land lines in France, and to US, Canada and Australia are generally free. It is also true for more than 50 countries. Moreover, calls to cell phones to specific countries (often US & Canada) may also be free. Ask us for detail as it may vary with time and policies of operators. WIFI is free and available in the entire apartment.

Beautiful studio in a student quarter with view of Notre Dame
This was a beautiful and lively location with lots of small merchants nearby. Underneath studio are a couple of restaurant/bars filled with students. You are near St Germain de Pres, le Pantheon, metro stations, 10 minute walk to la Seine et Notre Dame. The owner is lovely and super flexible. Communication was quick. I would come back! The studio was clean and well-lit. Keep in mind it’s on the 4-5th story so a small struggle of windy stairs to get to top. No elevators. Overall, had a lovely experience that Superseded my expectations!!

Perfect Studio Apt if you like Stairs
This is a great little studio apartment within walking distance to the Metro, Notre Dame and Latin Q shops and restaurants. Get ready for the stairs that take you to this top floor studio. There are a lot of steps which are small, crooked and unlevel which made carrying our bags a challenge. My wife & I couldn't stop laughing as it felt like we were on a ride at Disney. However, we found that after a few glasses of wine, the steps evened out and there weren't as many! The small restaurants in the square below the apt. were absolutely packed every night and they stay open until 2:00AM. The good news is the apt is very quiet and there was no noise coming up from the square. The check-in and check-out documents were VERY clear and the folks who manage this apartment were excellent throughout the process. Highly recommend this location if you're not afraid of stairs and want to work off the fabulous French cuisine at the end of your day.

Wonderful vacation
We enjoyed staying at Cozy 5. It was just as described. Most places we visited was in walking distance and there was plenty of places to eat close to Cozy 5. The stairs going up are a little difficult, especially with luggage. We are 54 and did not have a problem, but someone much older might find it difficult.

Modern apartment above lively Latin Quarter
We stayed in this apartment for 4 nights with our two teen age children. The location is great, a view of Notre Dame and the sound of buzzing lively cafes below. Luxurious renovated bathroom, open windows for a cool cross breeze. Small kitchen useful for snacks and breakfast only. Tough windy staircase, be prepared! Shared Laundry available at the bottom of stairs. Great restaurants especially if you walk further up Rue Descartes! Thank you for offering this rental!

A lovely perch above the Latin Quarter
This apartment is lovely. We found it to be clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom well laid out with a separate WC. The kitchenette is perfect for a flat this size - we didn't cook since the food is so good in Paris. But I did use the mini fridge and the tea pot daily. The windows open easily to allow for a nice cross breeze through the apartment. The view is wonderful as well - you're looking out towards the Seine River and Notre Dame Cathedral. The neighborhood is adorable and there are literally restaurants right outside the entrance. In the evenings the places were all buzzing in the area with a young crowd. With the windows closed, it was pretty quiet even with the buzz outside. I loved that the Pantheon was just steps away from the apartment. From in front of the Pantheon the Eiffel Tower is in view - we walked out a couple of nights on the hour to see the sparkling lights on the tower. There was also a Metro line just a few blocks away. The only potential downside is the 5 story stairway - it's quite steep and narrow. When I put 'perch' in the title, that is what I was referring to - it's almost like a birdhouse up a 5 stories tree. We had pretty large bags as we were traveling from the states and just got off a cruise as well. It wasn't easy getting large bags up and down, but it's doable. I would stay here again for sure, but bring smaller bags. If want a real feel for the area, absolutely stay here.

Perfect in every way!!!
This property is exactly as described and overlooks one of the most quaint squares in the Latin Quarter I’ve ever visited!!! The bathroom is fabulous and the host made each side of the couch up into beds so that our family of 4 slept perfectly: 2 in the bed and 2 on the couch benches, which were amazingly comfortable. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of locals chatting and frolicking below and waking up to the bells Notre Dame, which is easily visible from the window in this quaint flat. It’s about a 5-10 min walk to various Metro stops, but we easily walked to Notre Dame, La Louvre, along the Seine, and even to the Champs-Elysées! What a wonderful stay. Please note that, as the owner mentioned, this flat is on the top floor of a walk-up building. That’s 5 floors of very narrow, spiral stairs, so be prepared. Thank you for making our trip to Paris as dreamy as Paris should be!

Neighborhood little traffic. Normal city noise from the Cafes. Stairs are narrow. Property Manager has multiple units in the building so get a lower floor if the stairs are an issue. I would stay again for sure.

It had a wonderful view and comfortable king size bed. The 92 steps may be more difficult with heavier/larger suitcases or people with bad knees. Location was great--many restaurants and sites very close. Room was very quiet even with activity below our windows.

Amazing
Quaint wonderful building with five floors. We stayed on the fifth floor at the very top. The apartment was just lovely, well lit and spacious enough for two people. The space was well equipped with all that one could possibly need for a stay. Climbing up to the fifth floor with luggage was challenging and quite a workout. However, this would not deter us from staying again...we would just pack a little lighter. Thankfully, my husband and I are in good shape and were able to manage. Loved our stay and would stay again in the future. Thanks for a beautiful stay in Paris.

Spacious and in a great location
We loved our stay here! It was me, my husband, and 5 year old kiddo and this apartment was plenty big. I thought maybe the bed for my kiddo may be uncomfortable because it was a bench but it wasn’t! In fact, my husband and I would lay there to relax or nap at times. The view is incredible and the street right next to it has a lot of shops and restaurants but it’s not at all crowded. We explored other areas of Paris but breathed a sigh of relief as we got near the apartment because of the tranquility. Granted, this is near a university and on the ground level there are two cafes so on Friday and Saturday night you could hear the chatter until about 5 am but if this bothers you maybe a white noise app on your phone would help. It didn’t keep us up though because we were so exhausted from walking around Paris all day. Yes, the stairs are a hike but we didn’t mind them! The laundry room was fantastic and I was able to do a few loads of laundry which was nice. We’d stay here again in a heart beat!

Overall, great place to stay and would highly recommend it. It is a studio but feels spacious with the high ceiling And in a super central location. The only things to note are that laundry is on the first floor and shared. Also, the stair ways smelled like smoke in the evenings. Only impacts walk up. No smell of smoke in the apartment. Definitely would stay again and recommend to friends!

I would love to come back and stay at this very place in a more romantic way too. However my kids and I loved it. It was a perfect location of the notre dame in the window view and the church and Pantheon right behind us. There's no joke around Americans and there big luggage (yes mine) we did our best to carry up quietly but be prepared. No problem for us though. We spent a week and went most places by foot and taxi..... and subway. All easy to figure out. Thank you host❤️ hope to come back

Charming place
Nice large studio apartment in a great location with a nice view. The only draw back for us was that there are 92 uneven stairs which makes it very difficult to get the luggage up, especially for older folks. This needs to be clearly specified in the online listing before signing up. A little courtesy bottle of water and some coffee would be nice so that when guests arrive don’t have to run to the supermarket. The management was very responsive to our needs and fixing minor items. We recommend the place.
