Fabrice's place is great. This is the second time my daughter and I have stayed there. We were there in Match 2015 and now again in November 2016.
This apartment is cutely attired and I found that having the washing machine was a big plus as I like to travel light. Also, a full size bathtub is a must for my daughter and I. Most apartments have tiny showers, but Fabrice's bathroom is roomy enough and with the tub and towel warmer/heater it's perfect after a long day out in Paris.
The location of the apartment cannot be any better. Truly in the heart of Paris it is situated at the edge of Saint-Germain des Pres and Quartier Latin. With all the cafes and bistros there is never a lack of places to eat or have coffee. French, Lebanese, Greek, Japanese and Thai are all easily minutes away. We love the Maoz Falafel place literally 2 minutes around the corner. Also, Carrefour City is 5 minute walk and Monoprix is about 10 minutes. Both have great selections of groceries and products. Monoprix also has a great selection of Beauty Products if needed or not. My 17 year old liked it more this time and has a large selection of natural beauty products.
The Location is also a 5 minute walk to the Saint Michel Metro 4 line and RER ABC connections. The first time we arrived at CDG airport and took the train into the city and then caught the metro over to the apartment it was only a 30 minute ride all together. This time we arrived at Gare de Lyon train station and it was a 14 minute RER ride with one change. Incredible considering all the people here. Paris has an exceptionally great public transportation system and I love using their metro and train system for getting across town fast. The bus lines are everywhere and these are great especially after the morning rush and to see the buildings around you.
The Louvre, Notre Dam, Centre Pompidou, Chapelle Church are all walking distance. Orsay is only one stop on RER B and Eiffel Tower is 4 on RER B. However, I encourage everybody to walk if you are physically capable. So much to see on the way to your destination and you might happen upon that great bistro or gallerie or boutique as well as admiring the architecture of this area.
The apartment is the perfect and cute spot for me in the heart of Paris and I am sure you would love it as well.
Merci Fabrice
