The Location: Located in the relatively hidden passage of Cour du Commerce Saint-André, this pedestrian-only walkway boasts original cobblestones and lies alongside a fortification constructed under the reign of Philippe Auguste during the 12th-century. This passageway is located in the heart of upscale old Paris within Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood, in the 6th arrondissement. The location is proximate to great dining, shopping, and several nightlife options if one is so inclined. Historic restaurants and cafe's are within a short stroll. Public transportation is close by. This location is ideal for those looking to have a base to explore Paris and the surrounding areas. During the winter holidays, the neighborhood lights up with Christmas Villages--and the smell of hot mulled wine and hot chocolate linger along the main avenues; quite magical.
The Unit: Wow! Super clean, and extremely well equipped for short or long stays. The unit is extremely rare because it is 1) a ground floor (not dozens of stairs to climb) and it is located on 2) historic 3) pedestrian only walkway, 4) that insulates much of the city traffic, that many locals are accustomed to in most units. The bedroom and bathroom are upstairs, but the rest of the living is downstairs. The kitchen is well-equipped, the bathroom well-equipped and there is an obvious attention to detail everywhere else.
The host: Camille is a fantastic host and went above and beyond to make our stay special. One can tell that the host enjoys utilizing their property for guest accommodations. We hope to be back. Thank you so much.
