Six of us stayed in Gilian’s apartment and loved it! The location of the 5 bedrooms gives everyone some privacy and the living room is a wonderful place to gather. The location of the apartment is incredible: it’s a 10 minute walk to the Seine, 15 minutes to Notre Dame, 20 minutes to the Louvre, and 30 minutes to the Musee d’Orsay. The neighborhood itself is lively and fun. My elderly mother was with us and we loved that there were lots of great restaurants within a few blocks that she could walk to. There’s also a wonderful bakery, Au Chaud Pain Chocolat, about a half a block away on Boulevard du Sebastopol where we picked up wonderful croissants, sandwiches, and baguettes.
