Five stars for location and responsiveness of host. 3 min walk to seine/notre dame. Very easy to get to area from CDG airport via RER B - station is St Michel / Notre Dame. We loved "our" neighborhood! Our host, Melissa, touched base with us a few days before with some recommendations on restaurants and local groceries. She was also very responsive via what's app while we were there. Note: Melissa was not there, but a nice young woman named Giovanna let us in. She, too, was very responsive on What's app.

The apartment itself, 3 stars. Decent place if you're just looking for a place to crash - warm bed, hot water, no tv, good wifi. However, we had a heat issue (only 1 worked), but it was addressed within a couple days - it was a Sunday when we reported it, so it had to wait til Monday. It's a studio, so keep in mind there's no room to hang up any clothes. Also note, the walls are thin, and we had to go out and buy wash cloths.
