Perfect Location

This apartment was located conveniently to most things we wanted, and there was a taxi rank 100 yards from our door. The place has authentic ancient building features which makes it feel like romantic Paris. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower ample, and the living and dining rooms were well laid out. The only significant downside was the smallness of the kitchen, but we made it work. The woman who checked us in could not have been nicer! We had a difficult time making the lock work and she came back with WD-40, and it worked perfectly. She lived in the neighborhood and we ran into her on the street and she gave us shopping tips. All in all it was an excellent choice.

Paris Trip

Perfect location and apartment for our Paris trip. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and within walking distance of the main sites. Especially enjoyed only being about five minutes away from the Luxembourg Gardens. Check-in and communication was easy. Definitely recommended.

Quiet and comfortable!

We had a lovely visit to Paris, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Francine's Paris aparment. It was quiet, clean, and looked like the photos. While it was only one flight of stairs to get to th apartment, we appreciated being able to send our luggage up on the elevtor. The building is secure, and on a less busy street, with everything you might need close by. Perfect location!

This apt is fully equipped - the host has thought of everything. It is very quiet, bright and comfortable and the location is perfect --- is close to all transportation, restaurants and shops. The owner is very responsive and there is someone living in the building who will let you in, show you the apt and is available if needed. Our nine nights just flew by ! We hope to return someday.

Lovely base in Paris

Wonderful to stay in an apartment in a 17th century building. A perfect location that invited us to explore the magic of Paris on foot and feel as if we were local Parisians. A lovely apartment to enjoy and relax in at the end of the day. Francine was very responsive. I would definitely recommend this property.

Comfortable Apartment in Great Location

My husband and I have visited Paris many times to visit our daughter. This is the first time we stayed in the sixième. The apartment is well-located on a nice street with many good restaurants and nice shops nearby and close to Odeon métro stop. And, of course, Jardin du Luxembourg is right there. The apartment was clean and comfortable and very quiet. We had a very pleasant stay!

Location, Cleanliness, Comfort - All Great!

We stayed here in mid-April, 2024, initially chosen for its location. We've been to Paris 30+ times, and always stay in Saint Germain. Location couldn't be better. The apartment was extremely clean, and full of everyday living amenities. The king size bed was very comfortable, and should be to everyone's liking: not too hard; not too soft. Since the apartment overlooks the courtyard, it is very quiet. Communication with Francine was excellent. We look forward to staying here again, at the perfect home away from home.

Fantastic location and great apartment

Spacious and well-equipped apartment in an ideal location! Elevator makes getting luggage upstairs easy. Bed is comfy. Very quiet even though you're in a bustling neighborhood. So close to Luxembourg Gardens, St. Michel, St. Germain, Louvre -- it's really ideal. The layout is a bit odd, with the toilet a ways from the bedroom, but just a small idiosyncrasy--I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location in the 6th Arr.

Three adults stayed here for 6 nights, taking advantage of the sofa bed for one person. Everyone was comfortable. The apartment was well equipped with everything you would need. And very quiet. On first floor, with a great elevator! It is also in a perfect location for transportation, restaurants, cafes, and stores. We were very comfortable. The apartment owner was very helpful and showed us the place, as the manager was ill.

About the host

Hosted by Francine BERGER DUQUENE, english speaking

Host profile image
We are retired managers. We live in the South of France, close to Nice.

We like to travel around the world, opera, classical music, theater, archeology.

If our visitors come in the South of France, we will gladly meet them

Nous sommes des gestionnaires à la retraite. Nous vivons dans le Sud de la France, près de Nice. Nous aimons beaucoup voyager, partout dans le monde, l'opéra, la musique classique, le théâtre, l'archéologie.
Si nos visiteurs à Paris viennent dans le Sud de la France, nous les rencontrons volontiers

Why they chose this property

This is where we lived when we were students and here we met. St Germain des Prés is the most lively place and the most attractive for us in Paris.
We bought this apartment, not to rent it but to live in when we come to Paris (3 or 4 months per year). It is therefore arranged for us, with all due care.

C'est l'endroit où nous avons vécu lorsque nous étions étudiants. C'est le quartier le plus vivant et le plus 'sympa' de Paris.
Nous avons acheté cet appartement, non pas pour le louer, mais pour y vivre quand nous venons à Paris, 3 ou 4 mois par an). Il est donc aménagé pour nous, avec tout le soin nécessaire.

What makes this property unique

5 minutes to go to the theater or one of the 13 cinemas closed to, between 20 and 30 restaurants in less than 150 m and so, even late at night, you can find restaurants open.
15 bus lines no more than 100m from the apartment to go everywhere in Paris (I give you the plans in the 'welcome book' to find how to go where you want)
2 metro lines at 50m, à 3rd one (direct to Roissy AirPort) at 150m
Shopping, shopping, shopping ... and the place is so alive, at any time of day, even at night ... but the apartment is so quiet!

5 minutes pour aller au théâtre ou à l'un des 13 cinémas à proximité et puis, même tard dans la nuit, n'importe où on peut trouver des restaurants ouverts.
15 lignes de bus à moins de 100 m pour aller partout dans Paris, je vous donne le plan de toutes les lignes dans le livre d'accueil
2 lignes de métro à la station Odéon à 50 m, une troisième ligne à 150m directe pour l'aéroport de Roissy
Shoping, shoping, shoping ... et l'endroit est si vivant, à tout moment de la journée, même de la nuit ... mais l'appartement est si calme!
