The apartment is exactly as described, it was a great location, close to everything, nicely decorated, and very comfortable! My husband and I very much enjoyed the location in the center of things, we liked hearing the bells ring at Notre Dame, the light strains of jazz in the evening, and gentle conversation from the street. By the way, the windows are magic, when we shut them, it was completely silent as well.

Both Michel and other reviewers have commented on the stairs, they are also as described. I will mention that my husband and I have done many apartment rentals in Paris, and stairs such as these are common in charming older buildings. And I agree with everyone that it is definitely good to be aware of them beforehand!

Thanks for a very nice stay!
