Charming Stay in the 6th

The apartment’s location means everything you wish to see in Paris is within easy reach. There are numerous excellent eating options nearby, boulangeries, supermarket etc. you can easily fill in a week here and do everything on foot if you wish. The apartment is spacious, has all you need, is comfortable, private and secure. We would stay here again.

Location and convenience

I picked the apartment for its location - including access to the metro and bus lines I intended to use. These aspects can make or break a stay in Paris. An added bonus was the cooperation of the owner to facilitate access to the apartment. The apartment certainly has everything you will need for a comfortable stay, but was not quite what I expected from the website.

Fabulous host, apartment and 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Stay Here and Feel Like a Parisian

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in Paris. After determining that we wanted to stay in St. Germain des Prés, we found this apartment and it didn't disappoint. The description is accurate, but I'd say that the photos don't do it justice - it's even nicer than it looks (I also loved the artwork!). It is a cozy, yet large space, quiet as can be, with all of the modern conveniences in a building that was constructed in the 17th century. How cool is that? With stone walls and wood beamed ceilings, it transported us to another time, but with amazing WiFi and other modern day conveniences. Francine was super, responding to our few questions quickly. And, Luzia, the "guardien," was sweet and helpful. I know other guests have said this, but it's worth repeating, the location cannot be beat. So convenient and close to restaurants/bars, transportation, bakeries, supermarket and so much more. We really felt like locals even if just for one week - magical! We can't wait to return! Thanks for everything Francine!

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.

Perfect

We enjoyed our stay in Francine’s apartment. It is located on a cute little street with bars and restaurants but not overpowered by tourists. You could walk almost anywhere from this location though buses , taxis and the subway were just up the street. After a long day it was always nice to have a sangria in the bar 10 right across the street The apartment is cute and cozy and had everything we needed.

Wonderful in every way

From the moment I entered the apartment, it seemed that everything had been done with my comfort in mind -- from the warm greeting from Luzia, who let me in and showed me where things are and how everything works; to the binder of carefully written and arranged information about the apartment and the neighborhood -- where to eat, how to operate the washer, etc.; to the oversized bath towels and extensive collection of dishes, glasses, etc., to make my stay there comfortable. Nothing was forgotten. The location is superb: turn left, and you are a few short blocks from the Luxembourg Garden; turn right and you have your choice of restaurants, or you can proceed a little farther to the nearby bakery and supermarket. If you like to walk, you are within walking distance of almost anywhere you might want to go in Paris; if not, there are 2 metro lines very close by, and at least one bus line. In short, my time in Francine's apartment was perfect; I hope to go back soon again.

Charming Apartment in Saint Germaine

My husband and I spent 4 weeks at this cozy apartment in the 6th arrondissement. The apartment was clean and spacious. When we arrived we were greeted by lovely Luzia who lives in the building. We had everything we needed and cooked many dinners in the well-equipped kitchen. The location of the apartment was exceptional. Many cafes, restaurants and shops surround the area. It is a short walk to Luxembourg Gardens where we picnicked often. We walked to many Paris attractions from the apartment's central location. The metro is a short walk from the apartment as well. Francine, our host was fabulous to work with and excellent with communication before, during and after our stay. I would absolutely rent this lovely apartment again when staying in Paris.

About the host

Hosted by Francine BERGER DUQUENE, english speaking

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!
