The absolute best experience! Cristina was so helpful, friendly, welcoming and available if we needed anything. I looked for weeks for a place for me and my daughter to stay, and the reviews of 5th Heaven stood out to me and I am so glad I made the choice to book with her. There couldn't possibly be a better host out there, and the room was completely perfect for us.
On a practical note, if you are considering booking in Paris and don't know where to start, I can't imagine this place not being perfect no matter what your priorities may be. It is a block and a half walk to the Seine, a very short walk to the metro, and while in the heart of the Latin Quarter, the street is still quiet and charming. The room is clean and comfortable and Cristina added little touches like Nespresso pods for the machine and snacks for when you wake up, plenty of charging cords and an extension to charge near the bed, and a shelf of Paris books and maps. The window blocks out any sounds when you close it, and when it is open you get the lovely breeze and view of a beautiful Paris street. The blinds block out most light. (I hoped this was the case, travelling with my 6 year old. We both slept very, very well! The room as a toilet and shower (with warm water) which isn't always the case in Paris. It is a bit small, but, so is most of Paris. The bathroom was very clean and the shower head can come down low and can be a handheld, which was also very helpful for a little girl who doesn't like to get her face wet :)
This trip was a dream come true, and I thank Cristina (and Matteo, but he was out of town for work) for making it even more perfect.
One evening we were too tired to go out to eat, so I made pasta and veggies in the little kitchen, and it was very easy and pleasant and I had everything I needed, from utensils to pots, to a wine opener :) They thought of everything.
If you are lucky enough to stay here, you'll never forget it!
Thank you again, Cristina and Matteo! Hopefully we will be back! Big hugs from Florida!!
