Stayed here with my husband and 9 year old daughter. The location does not get any better and if you are looking for a true Parisian experience in an area that is filled with character and streets with great restaurants and shops, look no further. We were steps from some great eateries, bakeries etc. I would not stay anywhere else in Paris than in St. Germaine. You can walk to the Seine river, Notre Dame, Louvre and more. As for Benoit, he is awesome! He left us a few treats and was very communicative and available if you needed him. Great place to stay and as our first Airbnb experience, we are very happy. We'll be back.
