6th Arrondissement St Germain des Pres Vacation Rental apartment

I stayed for a week in April 2009 (and WISH it could have been a month) with my son, his wife and two of their teen-aged off-spring. The apartment is beautiful and maintained meticulously. We were extremely comfortable in every way (and very grateful for the privacy of the little - well-lit - WC off the private entry - cannot understand piegirl's objection!). Ferida could not have been more welcoming or helpful (we had a medical emergency and she was right there with the perfect advice for us!) Above all the apartment is very quiet, away from street noise - a true oasis and full of the "flavor" of Paris! We were conveniently close to everything - a great neighborhood! A few short blocks from the Louvre, Luxembourg Jardin, Isle de la Cite, the Seine, markets and wonderful shopping. We all hated to leave our little apartment on the Left Bank! Thank you Ferida!

We are a family of five who stayed at the aparment from May 21 - 30, 2009. The location is amazing and the apartment was perfect, having everything we needed for our stay, even electrical adapters for our North American appliances! It was wonderful to have a kitchen and there are a number of grocery stores, markets and bakeries close by to get supplies for meals in house. There are also an incredible number of excellent restaurants and cafes in the area as well. We found the area very safe and there is great access to the metro, buses and RER. There are also so many great sites and major museums just a short walk or metro ride away. We were very grateful to have the second (or third) bathroom since we had five people in the apartment for the week. It was very handy at certain times of day - lovely and private! Past guests have left some great information behind and the owner also has a binder full of information about the apartment and area which was very useful. There is a large stack of current (2009) guidebooks as well so if you need more references they are all there waiting for you. Everything was very clean and in good working condition - wonderful to have access to a washer and dryer as well. It was just fantastic the whole time and we definetly reccomend a stay here! It was so nice to come home after a long day of sightseeing and having some space to relax, spread out and share our experiences. Thanks very much to the owner who was fantastic to deal with and to all past guests for their contributions to the information under the coffee table! Have a great time on your trip to Paris!!

Toilet outside...she hands you a flashlight for night visits! I lost all of my money and walked away with bags in hand after long flight to look for a hotel!
