My daughter and I had the privilege of staying in Karin's charming apartment. We awoke each morning to the beautiful view of the gardens from the large windows. Spring had arrived and the birds sang to us each morning. The bed was firm and very comfortable with nice linens and pillows. The bathroom is small but worked well for the two of us. The nice sized kitchen table allowed us plenty of space to spread out our cosmetics and shopping purchases! A large mirror over the table allowed space for both of us to use while getting dressed for the day. The washer/dryer allowed us to pack less and buy more! The apartment's location is convenient to shopping and dining. Since the apartment overlooks the Defense Minister's (?) building and gardens, there were always Parisian police stationed day and night on the street leading to the subway station. That added an extra sense of security for the two of us walking home late at night. We were lucky enough to meet Karin when we arrived. She was lovely and made sure we understood the details of the apartment. We were also introduced to her neighbor who was available to us while Karin was out of town. All in all, we loved every minute of our stay and hope to be back soon.
