The location could not be better! We walked to most places we visited during our 2 weeks and took the metro for only a few places (Odeon stop is 2 blocks away, literally 3 min walk). The apartment is nice and comfortable and I miss the shower already. You'll notice as you visit other areas of Paris that this apartment is in one of the "nicer" areas that's clean and safe. Like other have mentioned the noise on weekend from people outside can be heard but in honesty we were too exhausted from sight-seeing to even notice it. The washer in the apartment is also a dryer which is very nice. Gary (host) checked in with us mid-way and I appreciated that he made sure we were ok without being overbearing. One thing I worried about was the bed since it was a pull-put and being a big guy I thought of canceling but the bed is actually quite comfortable. Overall I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Paris. My wife and I tried to visit as many different neighborhoods of Paris, but kept coming back to St. Germain, it truly is a great area. Try Marco Polo (Italian) restaurant next door, one of the best pasta's I've ever had.
