THE VERY GOOD: Nora's apartment is lovely, perfectly located just a minute's walk to Notre Dame, spacious, and spotless. The shower is amazing. She made us coffee and welcomed us warmly, and she is a wonderful host.
THE TEMPORARILY BAD: The only down side is that due to renovations on the building, the windows are completely covered by scaffolding and a tarp. You can't see out, and very little light gets in. Nora was gracious enough to offer us the second bedroom with a window to the garden, and she can't help the construction, but it was disappointing to have the windows covered and workers hammering right outside in the morning. Having said that, we wouldn't hesitate to stay at Nora's again once the construction is finished!
