This apartment is amazing. It was over the budget that we were originally looking at but so many of them had compromises. We spent a little more for this place and the place was above and beyond amazing. It is a perfect location in the middle of St Germain with excellent restaurants and bakeries right outside your door. Easy access to the Metro. Walk to the Louvre.
But beyond the location the apartment is amazing. It is very well decorated, clean, warm and cozy. The kitchen is bright. The balcony is such a bonus. It is also very well equipped like a real home. So many listings I looked at said things like that there was only a half roll of toilet paper and no soap when people checked in. Well this apartment is like stepping into someone's functional home. Cupboards are well stocked with kitchen supplies as well as food basics like oil, vinegar, spices. There was even shampoo in the bathroom, back up cleaning supplies and toilet paper etc...To me this all made a big difference. It also encouraged us to take good care of the place and leave our own extras for future guests. Having it be so lovely always made it a joy to come home to after a long day.
The apartment is on a busy street. The front bedroom is loud almost every single night of the week. This however never bothered either of our kids who slept great. May bother some though.
We had no issues communicating with owners and they even graciously met us for an early check in after we had flown all night with two young kids.
