We loved our stay in Alexandra's apartment. St Germain des Près was the perfect area for us – so close to Musée d'Orsay and the Louvre, but it did not feel like a really touristy area. We enjoyed strolling the nearby streets and seeing the local art galleries. The apartment was so incredibly spacious, with no noise from the street outside. We loved the beautiful furniture and artworks. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed cooking with produce from the local market – the kitchen had everything we needed. The downstairs bakery was wonderful for our morning pastries, but there were plenty of cafés around if we felt like eating out. Thank you Alexandra! We may come again! We absolutely fell in love with Paris.
