Our stay at Atelier 86 could not have been better. Even before arriving in Paris, Pierre-Marie was sure to answer all my questions and recommend fantastic things to make sure my week would be an unforgettable one. The arrival was a breeze and both Pierre-Marie and his colleague Isabelle waited for us the evening of our arrival to make sure they took us through all of the wonderful things the apartment had to offer. From the speediest internet connection I've had in France, to an incredible working kitchen (including excellent ingredients for home cooking) to Aesop products in the shower, to fantastic artisanal liquid dishwashing soaps to the most incredible TV and sound systems... Aterlier 86 was a dream place.

It is super centrally located at an area of St Germain that is still quaint and not overly laden with masses. The area is filled with neighborhood eateries, cafes, breadshops, bistros and convenience stores that make your stay feel like you have been living in St. Germain all your life. You are also a stone-throw away from the Grand Epicerie which is a temple in the Parisian culinary world.

But on top of everything I truly have to commend Pierre-Marie's commitment to making his guests have an amazing experience. He was always available to us both through text and physically (his office is in the same compound). And since he is a lover of all things French and all things good, we always got extraordinary recommendations for restaurants (new and classic) to what best ways to tackle the city.

It is also close to 3 metro station lines that get you anywhere, so accessibility is fabulous.

I can only say that on my next trip to Paris I will be back to Atelier 86. It felt like home.
