Caroline and Jean's place is in an AMAZING location - but you've probably already seen that from the pictures. But there is SO much more than the location. The attention to the little things made our stay in Paris fantastic. You can see the history all around the house, the exposed beams, the internal stonework - lovingly restored and pristine all through. All amenities are there and more - we were welcomed with a personalised cake (!!!!) a stocked fridge and all the information we could need. Our two children had all the space they needed with a separate bedroom with two beds downstairs, while we had a very spacious room upstairs. Although Caroline and Jean were not able to greet us as they were overseas, their friend was able to give us all of the information we needed and Caroline was in constant contact checking on how we were going and giving information whenever we needed it.
Did I mention the LOCATION? You are on an island in the middle of Paris- the Seine is at your doorstep, the Notre Dame right behind you and Paris all around. There is no foot traffic past the house so it is quite quiet but amenities are all close and Paris is right there... So much to explore in each direction. Also there are no stairs so heavy luggage (we had a lot) didn't need to be lugged like it seemed to in every other European location.
Give this house some very serious consideration as part of your Paris trip. If it costs a little more than other locations you are looking at, spend the extra and perhaps forgo a couple more croissants -it's worth it!
