Barbara's place is impeccably clean and PERFECTLY located: 15-17 min walk to D'Orsay, Louvre, and Notre Dame. A block away from Rue de Buci with great restaurants and bakery; 2 blocks from St Germain.
The apt is extremely spacious--a loft. (Note: the downstairs bedroom is not 100% private; a 6 inch gap in wall facing living room even with sliding door closed.) The apt has a beautiful and secure entry; great tall windows that open; many thoughtful amenities (coffee maker, coffee, detergent for washers, etc, though while we were there the dryer was not working.) The unit is filled with wonderful, original artwork and tons of books in English and French. (We left some to contribute to the library as well:))
Barbara is responsive and kind. We hope to return again in the future.
