The location of the condo is remarkable. Right in the middle of the seine, on a street where almost everything was built in the 1600s. The street has cute restaurants, stores, and bakery's. Norte Dame takes about 5 min walk. The house is brimming with character. There are a few little weird things of course when you are in a place this old, but that is part of the experience. The only thing to be aware of: about 62 steps up. We were fine with it-- again part of the paris experience.
