Eiffel Tower view + terrace Saint Germain des Pres

Eine wirklich besondere Wohnung in einem sehr ruhigen und zentralen Viertel. Der Ausblick über Paris ist wirklich unbezahlbar. Noch einmal vielen Dank an Eric für den Empfang und die unkomplizierte Art. Wir kommen bestimmt noch einmal wieder.

Wir hatten nichts auszusetzen.

Emplacement et surtout vue magique

La deco et les aménagements un peu en retrait par rapport à la vue

I was a little nervous about renting an apartment in a foreign country where I don’t speak the language well but decided to take a chance. Glad I did. What did I like? -Eric I found Eric to be responsive and very much on the ball. Writes exceptionally well in English. Anytime I asked a question he would promptly get back to me. I did not have to wait for days or even hours. He usually got back to me within minutes. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Eric the Great in person. :) Pros: -OMG! The view is truly wonderful! You really feel like you are in Paris! -The location in St Germain des Pres cannot be beat. It is quiet at night but close to a Metro line. You can get to the action easily, but don’t have to live with it while you try to sleep at night. -As you can see from the photos, it has a washer and dryer! We find this amenity indispensable when traveling. One can waste so much time at a laundromat, and while the experience can be interesting, I’d rather spend my time enjoying Paris. And no more worrying whether I will have to wear my last pair of underpants inside out if I don’t get to the laundromat. -It has lots of nice shops nearby where you can get pretty much anything you need. There’s a pharmacy, a little grocery store, several restaurants, a bakery, all just around the corner. It’s a neighborhood people *live* in. -One thing I liked the most is that it felt like our place for a week. We didn’t have to clear out of the room for a maid or get up and get dressed to go to breakfast. We could do things on our own time. -Apple TV! We don’t get it at home so after a busy and tiring day of sightseeing, it was nice to snuggle up with, “Ted Lasso” and “Slow Horses” All in all a really nice stay!

No cons. Mostly FYI and heads up stuff: -Getting to the apartment once you are in the building can be a bit confusing at first, but Eric provided photos, directions, and all the information you need. By the end of the week, it was rote. -Oh, and heads up my fellow Americans, as mentioned in other reviews, the bathroom is small compared to typical American bathrooms. We managed fine, but be prepared. -the front door was a little confusing to get out of (getting in, no problem). A few times we thought we might lock ourselves in (not really) but it’s a little tricky. I will attribute this to user error.

The location and the view

Hidden fees in cash from owner, very old mattress, we cant close the door from the inside and the fan was very dusty
