This is an attractive and home-like flat in a superb, unbeatable location. Place Dauphine is a very quiet square, with very little street noise. The flat is very spacious - large living room and dining room which afford lots of space to sit and spread out books and maps, and the bathroom and main bedroom are comfortable and roomy. Great art and a wonderful book collection. The kitchen is small but had all necessary amenities. The washing machine was a plus. The pictures of the flat are accurate but don't capture the historic charm of the rooms and building. Good restaurants within the square, including a charming bistro next door.
The flat is minutes to Notre Dame, and an easy walk to Saint Germaine, Rue Rivoli or the Marais. Located at the Pont Neuf, walks along the Seine are doable within moments day or night. The Chatelet metro stop is at the end of the bridge, and the stop for bus #69, which runs from the Eiffel Tower to Pere Lachaise Cemetery, is a few meters north of the metro.
Good value compared to a hotel. I look forward to staying here again. Communicating with Philippe was a pleasure.
