We had a wonderful stay at Patrick's apartment in Paris! The location in St. Germain could not be better. The apartment is located on the 5th floor in an old, charming building with no elevator. However, climbing up the 5 story stairs was a minor detail for my husband and me (it made us really work for all the wine we drank & croissants we ate!) but as others noted, if you have any mobility issues, this could be challenging for you.
The apartment has been renovated with updated appliances and lovely, simple decor. The kitchen has all the utensils needed to cook a meal, and I especially loved the detail of the french press provided. The bed is comfortable, although my husband noted that he would have preferred a more firm pillow, as extras are not provided. Like most apartments in Paris, it does not have AC (but because it is on the top floor with plenty of windows & a fan, it has good airflow when the windows are open) which is only something to note when visiting during the warmer months.
The check-in process with Benoit went incredibly smooth! He was so helpful from the moment we met him, he even helped carry our luggage up the 5 flights of stairs. He showed us around the apartment and gave us a lot of recommendations to cafes, bakeries and grocery stores around the neighborhood. He also greeted us with a complimentary bottle of Rosé!
Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Paris. You truly can't beat the location and its proximity to so much :)
Thank you Patrick for an amazing stay!
