The apartment is a great find for the Saint Germain area. The apartment is an easy one floor walk up. The street is busy during the day but quiet at night. The windows which open to the street are updated with great sound proofing and open easily for fresh air.
The apartment was very spacious for two people with separate areas for sleeping, lounging, dining, and cooking. Bathrooms are all updated with new fixtures, great shower/tub. Kitchen has range, oven, dishwasher, small refrigerator, and stocked with utensils you need. Very efficient layout that made cooking morning breakfast a joy.
There is a fairly large dining table w/ 6 chairs and 2 sofas in the lounge area. Bed was extremely comfortable, and there was plenty of closet space. So with all the modern upgrades Olga has put into the apartment, she has done a great job in keeping the beautiful rustic feel with the old open wood beam ceilings and hard wood floors. We’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s around the world. This one will be remembered as one of our favorites.
Regarding the area, it’s a safe easy walk to many places. Walk down the Blvd Saint Germain to the many cafes. Head to the pedestrian lane Rue de Buci for the Paris cafe scene. There’s also a great Carrefour supermarket there. Or closer there is a Monoprix that is mentioned in the guest book. There are 3 Metro stops within walking distance and Uber is easy to use in Paris.
Lastly, Olga was great with communication throughout the original booking. Then she was helpful when covid-19 forced a shift in the booking dates. She was easy to communicate with and timely.
