We had a great time staying at Laetitia’s apartment! She was able to accommodate a slightly early arrival, and was thorough with explaining how everything worked in her apartment. The location of it was great, I know everyone on Airbnb says their apartment couldn’t get any more centrally located, but in this case it was true. Close to a major metro line that takes you to and from CDG, the metro (Saint Michel) has an elevator to get to street level if you have heavy bags. Her apartment has no elevator, but the stairs aren’t that bad, just be aware there are a few flights so don’t pack too heavy if you’re worried about that. Double paned windows kept out street noise, but having them open and hearing outside is part of the charm of a city like Paris. Cafes, creperies, bars, shawarma spots, restaurants and a clutch late night market right across the street, are all around the apartment. The street it’s on is a bit touristy but if you walk a block in any direction you get away from it. It’s one block from the river and views of Notre Dame, one from the St Michel fountain and the opening of the Latin quarter, one from an awesome lively street of cafes/brasseries/patisseries called Rue de Buca which I would consider as the start of St Germain. Great overall.
If you’re over six feet tall, you might bump your head a couple times with the loft hanging down, but the bed itself was pretty comfy. It did get warm up there even with the AC running (a little confusing how to make it work and stay on), besides that I’d only warn couples to not use the toilet or sink if someone else is in the shower!
We stayed a week, wish I had stayed for two or more. Loved the layout, love the city, no issues with Wi-Fi, 5/5. Merci Beaucoup Laetitia!
