This apartment may be the best deal in Paris! It's location is within an easy walk of most sites and areas of interest. Groceries and bakeries are steps away. We loved the ambiance of the book lined living area, tastefully decorated, airy and spacious, with large windows overlooking Blvd St Germaine. A large window in the bedroom too, and all with the brightness of geraniums in the window boxes! When the windows were closed there was almost no sound from the street. The bed was comfortable. Great shower, with separate toilet room. The kitchen is fully equipped and we enjoyed using it. An elevator makes it easy to stay on the second floor. The concierge, Mrs.R, was able to explain everything even with little shared language between us. We were confident that she and Catherine were available should there be any problems. Initially the apartment smelled of cigarette smoke, but airing it out and having an herbal room freshener took care of it. Given the location and comfort of this place, its rental fee is a remarkable value.
