Nora's place was exactly what we were looking for, a charming Paris apartment with modern kitchen and bath amenities. Had to climb a few flights of stairs to get up to the apartment, but the space was impeccably clean, and superbly located a block from the Seine near Ile St. Louis. The pantries were thoughtfully stocked for those who want to cook, and the fridge was packed with mineral water and other drinks, so we could just sit down and relax after our long flight. From there it felt like a home away from home for our week's exploration of Paris.
One thing to note is that the ground floor door's lock is a bit loose, so you have to jiggle the key a bit for it to catch and open. Make sure to practice it with Nora a couple of times first, if it's not fixed yet.
