Excellent value for a family or small group. The apartment is one block from the Metro line that goes straight south to the Cite' area where Notre Dame Cathedral is located. There is a craft brew pub about 50 meters away and Cafe's and Bakeries within a block to two blocks. Maria was an awesome host and I would use her again. She was waiting for us upon arrival even though our train was almost two hours later than expected due to French railroad strike. She provided excellent communication for our arrival. Only thing that would maybe improve upon the apartment would be maybe A/C in summer. The apartment was on ground level, so we felt uncomfortable leaving the windows open at night. The room wasn't overly hot if we opened windows for awhile upon arriving back at the apartment. However, for the price, this was an excellent option for us.
