Josephine was a great host and the flat is just as represented in the pictures. The flat is newly remodeled with all new appliances and ideal option vs. expensive hotels in Paris. She was incredibly courteous and prompt with answers to our questions as we prepared for the trip in the US as well as once we arrived in Paris. The location is the best feature of this flat located in the heart of Saint Germain and minutes walk to Saint Placide Metro. Great cafe's, bakery's, butcher shops just out the front door. If you're adventurous and willing to do some walking, you can easily access the top sights in Paris such as Orsay, Latin Qtr, Luxembourg Gardens, Nortre Dame, etc. We would absolutely recommend the flat and will return.
