We loved staying in Ben's apartment. Saint-Germain is a wonderful area, and a great base for visiting all the main attractions. Despite speaking only the tiniest amount of French, we found the Metro very easy to use, so having a Metro station across the road from the apartment was fantastic! It is also an easy landmark to tell a Taxi driver. You could hear a quiet rumble every time a train went through, but it didn't bother us at all. Shopping across the road at La Grande Epicerie was so much fun... the Baguettes! Oh, the Baguettes! Délicieux! The bed was very comfy, giving us much needed rest after each day of exploring. We had an issue with the washing machine, but after contacting Ben he organised to have it fixed within a couple of hours - much appreciated! :) The shower could have been cleaner, but it was a minor problem. Overall we loved staying at the Loft! :)
