Francois’ place is in the best location! So close to metros, little supermarkets, cafes, fromageries and bakeries and restaurants. Also terrific shopping! And many of the streets around us were for pedestrians only. We were a 15 min walk from the Louvre and the Seine and 20 min walk from notre dame. The bathroom is fairly newly renovated with a great shower. My teens ages 12 and 14 slept in the bunks and were comfortable, my 16 year old slept on the fold down couch. The only thing missing was air conditioning. We arrived during a heat wave, and even though Francois provided fans, sleeping in the heat and humidity was difficult.
