We stayed for 9 days at Patrick's charming property. The location & conditions represent a fantastic value. We are on an extremely quiet street very close to the open market of Rue de Buci, and a few minutes' walk from the metro station of St Michel. It is an excellent neighborhood/base to enjoy and explore Paris. The architectural elements of this 17th century building is beautifully incorporated into the place without any sacrifice of modern amenities. Patrick is an incredibly detailed and gracious host. As everyone stated, there are many flights of one-of-a-kind ancient steps to reach the place, so it is not for anyone physically challenged. We are very happy we found Patrick's property, and hope to return again soon.
