The apartment was in a brilliant location - you could step outside and the bars, restaurants and shops of the St Germain des Pres were right on your doorstep!

The only thing is that this was not accommodation for 3 - much more suited to 2. The shower is in the room and heating was bolstered by a small electric heater. It's also up a very steep flight of stairs up five floors without a lift.

Overall, we had an excellent stay in a wonderful area and Hiroko was very helpful providing lots of information about the area and how to get there in advance.
