This place is wonderful. It’s in the middle of, or a short walk from everything: art, nightlife and wonderful food. Yet, it’s behind tall safe gates, with bedrooms upstairs - so it gives a secluded feel when you want to recharge. The outside is beautiful, dramatic, historic. The inside is spotless, modern, beautiful. There is an outdoor patio behind the gates with heaters and seating - it’s a nice place to sit with friends before going out.
Isabelle is a kind, intelligent hostess. She provides a wealth of useful information, in person and in a phone left for your use. The phone contains lists of restaurants, sites to see, and even a number to call for a cab if you only speak English. If you are lucky enough for Isabelle to offer to walk you around the neighborhood- say yes! She’s very busy but knows so much history of the St. Germain area and Paris generally. My friend and I were traveling on our own and felt very safe and comfortable in this home and neighborhood. I highly recommend this home and will go back.
