The view of Notre Dame was absolutely wonderful, and made up for the street noise. The kitchen was great, allowing us to cook left-overs and make our own tea. The neighborhood was wonderful to explore: Comme Chai Toi for escargot, La Parisienne for great "tradition pas trop cuit" baguettes, Aux Merveilleux a Fred for dessert, and Frommagerie Laurent Dubois. We will be back, for sure.
