Josephine's apartment is beautiful. It is even nicer than the pictures show. The bathroom and kitchen are brand new and fresh and the design is modern and very nice. We were two friends and my 17month-old baby, so my friend used the sofa bed and said it was super comfortable, and it was very easy to make and put away each day. The apartment is very light for a Paris apartment and it is conveniently located on the ground floor, next to a quiet courtyard. I found it good for a toddler, it was safe with few sharp edges and no other apparent traps for a curious little child. I cooked the baby dinner every day and the kitchen appliances are great. There is even a small dishwasher which was very quiet so I could let it run at night.

Next to the apartment is a storage room for bicycles, which we used for the babystroller. Since it was raining for most of our stay it was great to not have to keep it in the apartment. The apartment is very quiet, and the bed in the bedroom was larger than your average hotel double bed, and very comfortable. The whole apartment was very clean and felt like brand new.

The apartment is in an amazing location, just a couple of blocks away from Le Bon Marché, which has to be one of the best department stores in the world. It is also close to many cute restaurants, cafés and small boutiques, and provides a perfect base to explore Saint Germain de Prés, and the rest of Paris. If you are traveling with a young child, like we were, and can't go out for dinner at night, there is a place called "Sushi Shop" just around the corner which has great sushi take-out.

Josephine and her husband Amaury were lovely hosts and made sure we were comfortable, and they were also available to aswer any questions we might have. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Paris. It is a good size for a couple with 1-2 children, or for 2-3 friends traveling together. We had a wonderful stay.
