This apartment is in a wonderful location with views of the Seine and left bank. It is very close to the St. Germain des Près neighborhood with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants.
Nicolas is a gifted photographer and the apartment is packed with his and his friends' artwork. The kitchen is compact with adequate supplies (except for 1 wine glass and one champagne flute!!!) although we seldom cooked. The apartment is quiet and the living/dining room has beautiful natural light. The bed is small but comfortable.
My pet peeve in most French apartments (and we have rented many) is the lack of adequate lighting for reading or lounging. This flat is no exception. It could also use more seating and storage for the owner's personal effects - it was a bit cluttered. The stereo system is a treasure and music buffs should rent this place just for this reason.
Nicolas was a very responsive host and a gentle soul. This is a perfect spot for exploring Paris. Thank you, Nicolas for sharing your home with us.
