Natalie's apartment is a great base for an enjoyable trip to Paris. It is in the 6th, very close to the famous churches of St Germain des Pres and St Sulpice - in fact, you can see the spire of one and the tower of the other from the living room! The flat itself is light, airy and stayed nice and cool even in hot summer days. The flat is situated in part of the apartment building that is well protected from the sounds of the nearby busy streets, so it is relatively quiet. We stayed there as a family of three and it there was plenty of space. The flat was brilliant for a young energetic family! My husband was there for a month and was sad to leave.

The neighbourhood is brilliant to see and we particularly enjoyed sailing little boats in the Jardin du Luxembourg, which is just a couple of minutes of walk away. Most of the famous sights of central Paris are within walking distance, and there are plenty of good shops and restaurants to keep you well fed and watered. There are also two Metro stops on different lines which are within 1 minute walk of the flat - it was very useful for us that one of these, St Germain des Pres, is on Line 4 so gives a direct line to Gare du Nord and the Eurostar..

Natalie was a great host - relaxed, friendly, practical, generous and full of useful information. She provides a great couple of pages of details about the flat and the local area - really useful local expert tips on restaurants etc - we really profited from that.

We would certainly recommend Natalie's place to our friends and family and anyone looking for a ideal spot in Paris.
