When my family and I arrived to the apartment Igor had given us very clear details on how to enter, where we were greeted by Maria (as Igor was out of town). It's important to know that the apartment is on the 2nd floor and it's a pretty tiny staircase leading up to the apartment, which proved to be "fun" with our heavy luggages. The apartment was exactly how it looks in photos. My favorite part of the apartment is undoubtedly the view from the windows - it is right on this small street where you can hear music being played by restaurants below and watch passerby's. With that said - warning that music plays until 11 pm and LOUD street cleaning started every morning at 6 am which made sleeping a challenge. The metro is literally a few steps away which made traveling within the city very convenient. I wish the cleanliness of the apartment in the kitchen, bathroom and shower was a bit better. Overall i think the location and view from the window trumps all the negatives as Saint Germain quickly became one of our favorite neighborhoods in Paris!
