We just had a lovely stay at Dominique and Catherine's apartment in Paris. It was in a great location, right near Rue Montorgueil - the famous pedestrianized street, 5 mins to the Seine, 10 mins walk to the Louvre and 10 mins to Notre Dame. There were loads of cafes, brasseries and shops right downstairs. Oh and a great massage place just at the bottom of the stairs. Our hosts were very helpful. The house was centrally heated, the large windows overlooked the street which we enjoyed looking out of with a glass of Bordeaux.
The only drawback was that if you were sleeping on the sofabed in the living room, the curtains didn't block out the bright street lights, and there is a nightclub downstairs that proved quite noisy when the patrons were leaving all through the night. Perhaps we noticed it more as we have small children.
Otherwise it was a lovely, well kept place, perfect for a couple visiting Paris. Thank you!
