Jean and Caroline's place at Quai aux Fleurs is a cozy gem! It was perfect for the four of us (2 adults, 2 kids) and its central location was ideal to visit all of Paris' Must-See spots and monuments (Bus, Metro and RER stations are 5 minutes away). We stayed for about two weeks and enjoyed the comfortable (firm) beds, the romantic location near Notre-Dame and ile Saint-Louis, the nearby brasseries and restaurants (& Berthillon ice creams). For shopping, you're 10 minutes from the chic boutiques of Le Marais. We walked 10 minutes each morning to buy fresh croissants and baguettes in the St-Germain des Prés neighborhood and enjoyed strolling by the Seine on warm evenings. Every 2-3 days we would head to the grocery store (15 minutes walk) using the wheeled shopping cart available in the apartment.
Jean, our host, was very considerate and gave us a warm welcome (finding us in the crowd in front of Notre-Dame and helping us with our luggage, what a gentleman!). We found coffee pods, cooking basics and a marvelous pastry treat from a great bakery in the fridge when we arrived, as well as a bottle of Evian facial spray, which we greatly enjoyed on hot days. The place was in perfect shape and very clean and there were fans to help with the heat on some hot days.
We would rent the place again in a heartbeat, but one word of caution: the space was fine for us, but it is cozy. Large people and people with disabilities would not find the bathroom and toilet practical.
The wifi and TV worked well. Really no complaints about the place for us and highly recommend it for its cleanliness, great charm & character, central location and the special touches from our hosts!
