Cécile's apartment in Saint Germain was ideal for our trip. It is perfectly-located on a quiet street off Rue de Bac, but close to great shops, cafés, and the Musée d'Orsay! There's even a wonderful fromagerie right next door! The apartment itself is a good size for two people, and was very clean and well-lit; the pictures do it justice.

Cécile was incredibly responsive and communicative, answering every conceivable question that popped into my head. Getting into the apartment and getting the keys was a very simple process, which was a relief after a 14-hour flight.

The only potential downside is that the stairs from the living room up to bedroom area are steep and a little bit treacherous, but as long as you're cautious it's no problem. While this setup might not be ideal for some, neither of us fell during our eight days in the apartment.

Overall I would highly recommend both this apartment and Cécile as a host. It provides an authentic Parisian experience with the comfort of knowing Cécile is easily-reached with any questions or concerns.
