An absolute gem. Perfect location - central but also tucked away. Saint Germain is one of my favorite areas of Paris, I do always prefer the left bank. You really can't go wrong here. You can walk everywhere and you are close to two great metro lines which make getting farther easier. Plenty of food/drink options right outside the door, including a grocery store, and other specialty markets (wine, cheese). The apartment was clean, great shower (big for Paris standards), comfy bed, wifi was good enough. Other guests are correct - you really don't hear any noise from outside when the hallway door is closed. And there isn't much light, so if you're used to waking up with sunlight, set an alarm! I didn't get to meet Julien, but he was great with communication, always responded in a timely manner, and just overall a great host. Merci Julien!
