Cedric’s apartment is exactly as shown in the listing—spacious, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. It was the perfect home base for my husband and me and our adult daughter for a week. Every amenity has been considered and provided—the kitchen has everything one needs from a coffee/espresso machine that Cedric has generally filled with coffee beans to a built in ice and water dispenser in the full-sized refrigerator. We enjoyed daily Apéro with the 3 sets of windows open most afternoons because the light and breeze in the apartment is so beautiful.
It was our first time staying in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and we did not appreciate how incredible the location was until we arrived. Minutes from the metro and a 10 min walk across the Pont des Arts to the Louvre—the immediate neighborhood is filled with unique shops, galleries, restaurants and boulangeries. There is a well stocked supermarket on the block which was so convenient. The area is popular and crowded with tourists on the weekend. Unlike other areas of Paris there are still many places open on Sunday.
Despite being located on a busy boulevard, the apartment is very quiet at night if the windows are securely closed. The beds and linens are high quality and we all slept extremely well. There is one shared WC with toilet and sink in the center of the apartment with en suite bathrooms in each bedroom containing shower/tub and sinks. This worked very well for our family but should be noted if you are thinking about renting this apartment for two couples. It is such an incredible apartment, I would not be deterred.
Cedric’s apartment will be my first choice for accommodation on my next trip to Paris.
