Michel's "Esmerelda" apartment is just lovely! The view is spectacular -- overlooking Notre Dame and St. Julian de Pauvre. The light changes every minute, so the view is never exactly the same. At night, the majestic towers of Notre Dame are magical against the night sky. The apartment is so comfy. The bed is heavenly, the pillows are perfect, and I slept soundly each night. The kitchen has a stove, full-sized fridge, microwave, and dishwasher AND a clothes washer and dryer... totally unexpected! The apartment has a lot of electrical outlets, and there were 2 converters there for my use. I brought my own too, so I was in great shape for charging my electronics. The building is quirky, and the staircase is semi-spiral -- very tight in terms of width, but so full of charm. The building is very quiet. I only heard people coming in and out 2 times in 8 days. Very private and lovely. Also, not to be missed is the lovely little jewelry store right next door... Pays du Poche.... the proprietor is a lovely man and the jewelry and gift items are well-priced and very beautiful. All in all, a wonderful stay and I'm very grateful for all the amenities! Thank you Michel!!
