If you want to stay in the Latin Quarter and/or very close to Notre Dame, you absolutely cannot beat this location. Period. Walk out the door and you're in the thick of it -- bars, restaurants, patisseries, shops, etc. Walk less than a mile and you're near the beautiful Luxembourg Gardens and so much more. There's also several very conveniently located metro stops nearby. If you're planning to take the train to other cities/countries, it's just two stops away from Gare du Nord.

The pictures for this very unique and eclectic are completely accurate and Alban is a great host. He was very nice and accommodating before and during our stay, providing us with plenty of information to make our vacation perfect. When we arrived, there was a large bowl of delicious fresh fruit, a bottle of wine, clear instructions for WiFi and other electronics, as well as a hand-written note.

His place fit our needs well -- we were a family of four with two adults, a three-year old and a seven-month old. Our three-year old loved the second bedroom, filled with toys and puzzles to make him feel at home. Though this room would also have been great if an adult was staying there, as it had its own en suite bathroom and shower.

My husband and I have visited Paris many times and this was one of our favorite stays, thanks to Alban. We hope to come back soon.
