We loved the location of this apartment; it was in a wonderful area of St Germaine de Pres near lots of delightful shops and restaurants. We were very easily able to walk to all the major sites: Notre Dame is very close and we had no problem getting to the Louvre and even the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower on foot. Hiroko is a lovely host, extremely quick to respond to emails and very helpful when we needed a taxi the day of departure. We booked knowing the apartment is on the 5th floor with no lift; I was happy for the exercise after the rich French food we enjoyed! As advertised, the bathroom situation can be challenging for two people, but we knew what to expect from prior reviews and made it work!
