Caroline’s place is small but quite cozy for the three of us. The bed and the sofa bed are very comfortable. The shower is great. The kitchen has everything we need and there is an elevator which is quite precious in old Paris buildings. The weather is chill at night even in August, that explains why most of buildings in Paris don’t have air conditioners. It’s every thoughtful of Caroline, she set up three fans for us just in case.
The location is just as described, it is truly in the heart of Saint-Germain area. The restaurants and the cafes are everywhere. La Croissanterie and Les Deux Magots are two of my favorite breakfast choices. There are numerous bookstores in this area, people here are always carrying a book. We really love to cross the beautiful Luxembourg park everyday to start the morning. Even after I came back, I still feel the park is just right at my neighborhood. Also there are three convenient stores only downstairs distance . Franprix has more choices but the little Proxi has better business hour.
The most important thing for us is that it is quite close to all the attractions. The Louvre and Notre Dame are only thirty minutes stroll. Some other attractions like Sacre-Coeur of Montmartre or Pompidou museum are only one bus away which is a relaxing way to get to know the city. It took only 35 euros Uber to get to the gorgeous Château des Versailles outside of Paris.
Last but not least, I have to mention about Caroline. She is so great and always a message away. Merci beaucoup Caroline! If we visit Paris again, I will certainly book this place again, because it feels like home.
