This apartment has an exceptional location, it cannot be more convenient. Less than a 10 minute walk to Notre Dame and a 2 minute walk to the Metro. There is a delightful open air market in the square outside your entrance and shops selling pastries, cheeses, meats and staples within 2 minutes walk. The apartment has lots of hot water and great water pressure. Valerié is a gracious hostess and very responsive. The master bed is very comfortable. The second bedroom is big and has great blackout curtains so you can get it really dark. The windows do a really good job blocking out noise. The refrigerator is quite large so you can stock up and eat in if you wish. Be aware of the following: the apartment is up 93 narrow, winding stairs - brutal for moving your luggage in and out plus somewhat overwhelming at the end of a long day of sightseeing; there is a very popular pub located on the ground floor of the building - it is very loud until at least 1 a.m. and much later on weekends so if you travel in the summer and want to open your windows it is going to be very loud; no A/C so you will need to open the windows as soon as the weather warms; absolutely no storage space for your belongings so you will be living completely out of your suitcase; master bedroom is tiny with one window; washer does a great job but don't count on the dryer doing any good - you will be hanging your clothes to dry. I would stay here again but only in the winter because of the need to close the windows at night.
