This little apartment is the perfect spot to explore Paris from! My husband and I spent 5 nights here, and were able to accomplish so much. I was totally stunned by how close it is to Notre Dame (like 3 min walk), and being right on the Seine, we were able to walk along the river to get to most other attractions/neighborhoods. There are also metro stops nearby for getting places not walkable (but we're obsessed with walking so we basically walked everywhere!! Evening walks on the Seine are spectacular!) The apartment is small, but that is to be expected in Paris. We never found ourselves wanting for more space - it was totally sufficient. It is a very quiet neighborhood, despite being in the heart of everything. We always felt safe. Maxim was a great host, and checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed.
