Eiffel Tower view + terrace Saint Germain des Pres

The owner,Eric,cancelled our reservation 3 days, before our departure,without any reason given.We had to scramble to find another place,to stay,& had to settle,on something,outside the city.This was not very convenient,for sightseeing & we had to take taxi's everywhere.We missed our $250 dinner cruise on the Seine,because no taxi's were available.Some drivers ripped us off big time.We will never return to Paris.

Great views, nice small balcony, great breeze. Needed a full length mirror. Host was pleasant and helpful. Would rent again.

The location of this property is phenomenal: we were able to walk everywhere and there was a metro stop right around the corner. The studio itself is exactly as presented on the listing. It was clean, well-appointed, and perfect for two people. The view of the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides through the windows is also amazing, while the terrace faces a quieter side of the building.

The apartment is well laid out and has wonderful views from two sides. The Eiffel tower and Eglise du Dome are so close viewed from large windows in the living and bedroom area. On the other side is a small balcony with charming views of chimney pots and roofs to enjoy while we ate lunch. The kitchen is wonderful for cooking, with a 4 burner cooktop and oven, plus microwave. The apartment is very quiet and balcony is secluded. Eric is a fabulous host who welcomed us at the building entrance to lead to the rental. He answered all our questions and was easy to reach for later questions. I note that some reviewers complained about the WC, but i really like having a separate WC next to the bedroom and it had a sink. That's unusual in Paris rentals we have stayed in before. Overall, we really liked the design of the apartment and loved staying there. The July 14 fireworks were breathtaking from the apartment! We will treasure that memory.

The location is lovely: We enjoyed being in a neighborhood rather than a more touristy area, and of course the views are spectacular. Watching the Eiffel Tower glitter at night did not get old. Accessing the flat from the street is a bit complicated, but we were provided with clear instructions, including photos, that made this a smooth process. The flat itself was comfortable and clean. Now for the critiques: The flat is quite small, smaller than it appears in photos; this was not a problem for two people on honeymoon, but might be for others. It was also relatively light on amenities. For the price point, one might expect to have coffee in the flat, shower products provided (we used what we'd brought, supplemented with hotel samples left behind by others), and overall a little more attention to welcoming travelers. These things were not terribly problematic, but again, for the price point, we expected a more hospitable set-up. Additionally, we happened to have planned our trip to Paris during a peak of the transit strike and associated mass protests. We knew that we would have a more complicated trip than we had originally anticipated, given that the metro was mostly closed and the streets were clogged, as well as that some public attractions were closed (including around 25-30% of the Louvre). A planned day trip out of Paris would be impossible, since the trains were not running properly. Even getting into the city from the airport was far more time-consuming and expensive than it would ordinarily be. At the time we flew to Paris, large demonstrations were happening; protesters were being tear-gassed; police officers patrolled the streets wielding automatic rifles. Travelers were canceling or postponing their plans left and right; this was our honeymoon, and we very much wanted a stress-free journey. We reached out to the host to inquire about rescheduling our trip until springtime -- he had already been paid and we were not trying to cancel, be refunded, anything like that. We simply wanted to find new travel dates. He was entirely unaccommodating, insisting that a) we could not reschedule and b) if we were to cancel, he would retain all of the money he had been paid. VRBO was no help either, saying that the decision was solely his to make. We went ahead with the trip and made the most of it, but that exchange certainly did not get things off on a good foot. Pros: Charming flat, great views. Cons: Overpriced; surly host.

We really enjoyed staying here. It was an easy place to stay, easy to communicate with host and the view is incredible.

First there is the view. If you believe that every Parisian apartment has a view like this - think again. This has excellent views of both the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. At night the view is just spectacular. The location is also superior being close to Cafes and Restaurants along Rue Babylon. I'd recommend Coutume for coffee!. The Metro is also close and don't be afraid to use it. Eric was especially accommodating by allowing us to drop off our luggage before check in since the previous guests had left. This was great as we did not have to drag our giant luggage all over Paris. The place is a bit small, especially the WC and especially the door to the WC since is strikes le petit évier (the small sink) and this is not the place for you if you came to Paris to make a racket in the apartment. Like many STRs this is a residental building with permanent long time residents and as such you'll be warned to keep it down especially after 8 PM. The apartment was well stocked for kitchen apparatus. It would have been nice to have some Nespresso on hand or at least explain to American what the hell Nespresso is and how to Identify it at local Carrefour. The trip from the street to the building can be interesting and it's a bit of a hike but there is a clean and functioning elevator to get you to the high floor it is on. Forget about all that and remind yourself of that spectacular view. Overall we'd stay again and Eric was just great to work with.

clean, comfortable, great Eiffel Tower view! owner very easy to deal with.

Small, well set-up apartment in a great location, especially to view 14 juillet fireworks from Eiffel Tower. An excellent place from which to enjoy Paris. Thanks Eric

The view was spectacular, you can see the effie tower right outside the window, the night view is outstanding, yes its 7th floor, but easy to get to, open tour bus 10 minutes walk , small grocery 5 minutes tons of great restaurants within 5 to 20 minute walk. Great experience and Paris was very nice place to visit, Eric was helpful for the apartment. Hint: we liked the Open Tour bus it work well for us. And we loved Paris.

We loved our stay at this property. We had perfect weather and were able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the long twilight over Paris rooftops. The apartment was well equipped and had the most amazing views of the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides and the Montparnasse Tower. We were also only a short walk to the Metro and loved the neighborhood. Check in and communication with the host were easy. Will definitely stay again when we come to Paris.

The property was clean, comfortable, and , cute, it was on the small side but still GREAT!!
