My wife, my daughter and her best friend, and I just spent 8 nights in the lovely and spacious apartment of Judith Mathon in the heart of St. Germaine. I cannot imagine a better location for a Paris visit, nor a more perfect apartment for groups of three or more. In a neighborhood of bakeries, cafes, chocolate shops, and stunning grocery stores (La Grand Epicerie is less than a block away), Judith's apartment made us feel we'd arrived in the Paris that we'd come for. The Seine, the Musee D'Orsay, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower are all within walks of less than a half-an-hour.

The three bedrooms of the apartment are also separated--two smaller ones on ones side of the living room and kitchen, the larger "master" bedroom on the other side. This was terrific for us, because my wife and I could therefore have some separation from my 22-year-old daughter and her friend, who naturally kept differnt hours from ours.

In the planning stages, Judith was prompt and informative in answering all our questions via email; and we were welcomed by her cordial husband upon our arrival, who showed us around the apartment and told us how the appliances work. Judith had food for us in the refrigerator, a wonderful bottle of red wine, Nespresso coffee capsules for the Nespresso machine (one of which I now want to buy for myself back in the U.S.).

Finally, Judith even emailed us after our departure to let us know that she'd found my daughter's smart phone--which we'd considered lost--and is mailing it back to us in the states.

I recommend this apartment--and Judith--with great enthusiasm. It is a real find--and you know you are in Paris from the moment you arrive.
