Clean, comfortable and well situated apartment in the St. Germain. I chose the apartment because of it's location in the 7th and the fact that there was a bonus elevator! I travel with at least 1 piece of heavy luggage and I just can't lug it up 3 flights of stairs anymore not to mention trying to walk up them after a long day of touring beautiful Paris! Location cannot be beat with the magnificent d'Orsay , Orangerie and Louvre Museums just minutes away at the Seine. There is a metro station very close and a Monoprix grocery store just across the street. Several fabulous boulangeries are to be found steps away as well. The RER C line which will take you to Versailles runs under the d'Orsay museum and is so convenient. We had fabulous meals in the area around the apartment. Just up the street was the Le Saint Germain cafe which is open late and had great food and drinks and wait staff. We dined there a couple times and it was full of Americans. I also recommened the L'Epi Dupin if you are in the area of the Le Bon Marche or Le Grande Epicerie not far from the apartment. It was fabulous.
This apartment is in a very quiet building and is perfect for solo traveler which I was until my boyfriend encroached on my trip. The bed was a little small for us but great by Paris standards. My only suggestion is smaller softer pillows for the bed as the euro pillows were too big and hard for my liking. The rainfall shower was something I looked forward to at the end of a long day and there was always plenty of hot water. I also found it a little dark in bathroom to apply my makeup but happily sat at the counter in the kitchen and did it with the light streaming in from the large windows.
Our host Jean-Pierre was so accommodating and helpful on arrival. He took the time to show us the apartment's ins and outs and talk about the area and suggested a couple restaurants in the area. Jean-Pierre is a Paris treasure and wish I had had more opportunities to chat with him.
I won't hesitate to reserve this great apartment for my next solo trip to Paris!
