My sister and I stayed in this condo for two nights in April. The location of this apartment cannot be beat. You are steps from Rue de Buci where you'll find the heart of St. Germaine with so many chic cafes, cheese shops, wine shops, grocery stores, patisseries, clothing stores, and art galleries. Everything you need is walkable; the metro is only blocks away. Luxembourg Gardens is .6 miles away. This condo is beautiful, and the owner met us in person for check in and helped with our very heavy bags. I do not pack light when I travel to Paris (all the shoes!), and Tatiana's husband was more than willing to lug my bag even though I didn't expect him to. There is an elevator but you must do about 5 steps to get to it. I really can't think of anything negative to say; anyone who does complain is just cranky. This is the best of Paris! If you want to stay in St. Germaine, book this place. You will not be disappointed!
