My girlfriend and I were fortunate enough to stay in Alicia and Xavier's city apartment to celebrate our 1-year anniversary weekend and it was an absolute treat!
The apartment itself is very true to what I reviewed before booking - a furnished room with a double bed and access to a private shower and bathroom. Everything was exceptionally clean on arrival and the bathroom was kitted out with every soap/body wash/shampoo/plaster/medicine imaginable!
The location (Saint Germaine) was recommended to me by a colleague as being a lively and trendy place to stay in Paris, filled with bars and lots of restaurants. With it only being a 2 minute walk from the nearest Metro station (straight line to/from Gare du Nord), the apartment is nestled right among this so that travelers will never have to trek too far for places to eat/drink. The Louvre and Notre Dame are both within a 10 minute radius as well for when you fancy some cultural attractions. Moreover, there is a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower from the apartment's living space which makes the stay all the more romantic, especially when the Tower is lit up at night.
Both Alicia and Xavier were incredible hosts whom always offered thoughtful touches throughout to improve our stay. My girlfriend and I arrived quite late on Friday evening at around 10pm, yet Alicia and Xavier were still on hand and contactable to help us into the apartment when we initially struggled to get through the main doors. One of the highlights of our stay was the complimentary breakfast that was provided to us at a time of our choosing every morning, consisting of croissants, tea/coffee, fresh fruit, fresh bread, meats and cheese. This was made all the more enjoyable as we were able to gaze out of the apartment windows from the breakfast bar table onto the city streets as the sun rose every morning - a very cute and romantic touch!
Overall, I would highly recommend staying in this apartment for a romantic city break in Paris, where Alicia and Xavier will ensure that you will not be disappointed in your stay!
