Helene's place was amazing! There is, of course, the beautiful view...but it only added to the great experience of staying at Helene's. Her parents (who live below) were very helpful and accommodating with our arrival and departure. They invited us for tea/coffee in their beautiful flat, but unfortunately we could not stay for long. The apartment is in the heart of Paris, and you cannot beat staying with a view of Notre Dame! Highly recommend!
