Josephine's apartment was truly perfect. The location was amazing; close to metro, Gare d'Austerlitz, bus, grocer, bank, boulangier and parks like the Jardim des Plantes. As a host, Josephine was super responsive, (even though she was on a business trip to New York!), welcoming and generous. It was truly like staying in a friend's apartment. The view was stunning of the St. Louis chapel across the way and we sipped wine and watched the clouds pass over the skyline of Paris. With the windows closed, there was little noise from the street or hospital across the street and the neighbors were very quiet. We would recommend Josephine's place as a the perfect apartment in Paris!
