My retirement dream was to return to favorite places and immerse myself in day to day life, in this case as a Parisian. We stayed here for the month of October 2024. This property afforded my friends and I the chance to have that “authentic” experience. The apartment was spacious and beautifully furnished. It has a fully stocked modern kitchen including dishwasher and washer and dryer ( separate units that were easy to use), microwave and coffee maker. The kitchen was stocked with spices and coffee as well as laundry detergent, trash bags and every necessity one typically has to purchase upon arrival to a rental unit. The beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms clean and modern, plenty of hot water and great water pressure. It also included an Italian bidet and Dyson hairdryer.
The location is exceptional- 2 metro lines within a 5 minute walk, the amazing Raspail market on Tues, Fri and Sunday was down the street; a small grocery store, pharmacy and outstanding bakery on the same block and Luxembourg Garden gates just about a 7 minute walk.
The host was the best. He sent copious notes sharing favorites restaurants, patisseries, museums, etc as well as where go if we had a medical or dental issue . He checked in with us several times to ensure we had everything we needed.
We also took advantage of the free nights at the owners Chateau in Normandy and stayed 4 nights - what an exceptional bonus!
Highly recommend this property!
