Mary met us at the apartment upon our arrival and showed us everything in the apartment to use. We did forget to ask about the washer/dryer instructions, but figured it out easily. The apartment itself is on the fifth floor and you walk up from the street level (no elevator!). The building itself seems quite old, but the apartment is very modern. The furnishings and decorations are quite lovely and charming! The main bedroom is upstairs another flight of stairs, with the bathroom, kitchen, living room and second bedroom on the main floor. Towels were provided, and all linens were on the beds.
The building is on a side street off the main St. Germain Blvd. and there is a beautiful Gelato shop next door, along with many shops and restaurants within a few feet. A bakery for breakfast/lunch is just down the street and the fruit shop is just a few feet away. We enjoyed our stay immensely and have recommended Mary's apartment to friends in Paris who have out of town visitors.
Mary kept in touch with us daily via text and email to make sure everything was going well. I had only wished we had more than one set of keys, as there were 3 of us and we had to stay together while out and about! We loved Mary's apartment and highly recommend it to anyone visiting.
The area is perfect for shopping, eating, drinking or people watching at a sidewalk cafe!
