Our family spent two wonderful weeks at the ROSIER 5 ÉTOILES, a convenient, comfortable, and lovely place to wake up to in the mornings and return to at the end of the day.
We loved:
•	Its simple, elegant design, from big leather chairs we spent hours lounging in, to the black and white prints on the walls and the big glass table where we ate our breakfasts.
•	Two bathrooms with great showers (rainfall shower heads!)
•	Parquet floors, wonderfully creaky
•	Many windows providing plenty of light and fresh air
•	Elevator which we originally thought was unnecessary, but ended up being a lifesaver at the end of long, hot days.
•	Courtyard view from one bedroom
•	Bustling and lively street view from one bedroom and living room
•	Central location:
•	Close to Miznon, our favorite pita sandwich restaurant in the neighborhood
•	Short walk to the Seine
•	Short walk to the St. Paul Metro stop
•	Extremely comfortable bed with soft bedding
•	Merry-go-round next to Metro stop
•	Short walk to Place du Vosges
•	Close to boulangeries, fromageries, patisseries, and Monoprix
•	Lory, the apartment contact, who was friendly, responsive, and helpful
•	A sweet and secluded park directly across the street, Jardin des Rosiers - Joseph Migneret. A lovely place to spend a little time on the grass, surrounded by locals.
Some notes:
•	Our nine year old son is constantly moving, so being in a third floor apartment with wood floors may not have been the best place for us and other families with young children. We made every effort to be quiet, but felt bad for our neighbors below who most certainly heard us walking around. That said, we often heard our upstairs neighbors so perhaps it’s just apartment living.
•	Coming from California we are not used to being around cigarette smoke, something we had to get used to in Paris and in the apartment where we smelled it when the windows were open.
•	With the windows open, the sound of people walking on the street below, cars and trucks driving over the cobblestone road, and neighbors playing music across the way was a bit noisier than we were expecting. However, the apartment was much quieter with the windows closed. And next time, we'd use ear plugs.
