For exploring all the great museums, the art galleries, pubs, food shops and clothing stores, Patrick's apartment would be hard to beat! Also, for exploring father away, it is right at the St. Michel-Notre Dame metro station (which is only two stops from Gare du Nord if you are arriving or departing by train). We found the apartment to be very clean, quiet, and comfortable though the bed is a small double. Patrick has a safe for your valuables. There is also a lockbox where you can store the key while out exploring so no need to worry about losing it! There is international TV for some British and American news in English. We appreciated the reliable, speedy WiFi as well.

Patrick's friend met us and told us everything we needed to know about the apartment (he speaks English extremely well) and even accommodated our baggage storage for part of the last day though it meant another trip for him to let us in for retrieval. I hope we will have the opportunity to stay at Patrick's apartment again some day!
