This is absolutely a magical little gem in the heart of Paris. Lovely quiet area with quaint shops near by. You can walk a few steps to get your morning croissant or fresh fruit veggies or fresh pressed juice. Take a 5 min walk, cross the bridge to Notre Dame and get street crepes or waffles. The metro is fairly near by. You can shop and eat in La Marais or the Latin Quarter with both in walking distance. The apartment itself is just gorgeous if you love the old world Parisian feel. No modern decor here, which we loved!!! There are modern amenities though. The apartment even has a washer and dryer which came in handy for our 10 day stay. We felt completely at home!
