Anne's 2 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment is bright, clean, well stocked, and simply beautiful - just as you see in her pictures! The original hardwood living room, dining and kitchen area is so bright, open, and inviting with 3 large (but very quiet!) windows/doors that open onto the cutest Parisian style French balcony. Plan to share a glass of wine together on the cozy balcony and watch the sunset cast stunning light on the Gothic dome of the nearby Pantheon; a must visit for its stunning architecture!
Anne's apartment is located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, or 5th arrondissement (5e). Luxembourg RER B is the closest train station (easy airport access) with Place Monge being the nearest Metro stop (pink, line 7). There are also 2 bus lines almost directly opposite the apartment that take you straight to The Louvre! If you're not walking about and exploring Paris by foot, transit is easy and readily available from Anne's apartment. Stop by Le Petit Jacques (around the corner on Rue Saint-Jacques) before heading to Jardin du Luxembourg for the ultimate picnic experience! Not far away you will find Rue Mouffetard, one of Paris' oldest streets, bustling with many restaurants, bars, shops and typical French markets - a great place to buy your local fresh produce, cheeses, meats, seafood, baguettes, and of course, wine!
Throughout our week's stay in Paris, Anne was readily available to answer any of our questions, and to provide anything the 3 of us might need, such as an oscillating fan (the apartment does not have air conditioning, but with the oscillating fan and keeping the windows closed during the day and open during the cooler nights/early mornings, the apartment remains comfortable). Anne also provided a very handy guidebook to her apartment and to the nearby amenities within neighbourhood. Check-in was very easy, thanks to Anne's amazing friend, Sandra, who is there is help out when Anne is busy. Our host, Anne, was graciously able to offer us an early check-in after our original flight timings were changed. Not only was it a pleasure to personally meet both Anne and Sandra, it was an absolute pleasure to be guests at Anne's apartment! Many, many thanks for helping make our springtime getaway to Paris such a wonderful and memorable experience!
