This is a great find. The location is this property's secret sauce. Just minutes from Notre Dame Cathedral, overlooking the Eglise Saint Sevrin, you can get to the hop on, hop off bus in seconds, you are close to some amazing restaurants and a historic jazz club. So much to do, so close. We were thrilled with the proximity and did a lot of walking, sightseeing, wandering and exploring, and at night, fell asleep in this apartment with the huge windows wide open. (August stay)
Our host, Stephane, met us as planned and showed us how to use the washing machine (a perk when you've been on the road for awhile already), the pull down bed, shower, etc. He then took us on a walking tour of the neighbourhood, pointing out the best restaurant for boeuf bourgignon, seafood, etc. This was a really classy and helpful welcoming gesture. Ask him about the medallion on the side of the building... this is old Paris at its best. If you want an authentic, historic building, this is it. High ceilings, large windows that open inward and give a nice street view. Note that there are 3 flights of spiralling, narrow stairs so this may not be for everyone.
We highly recommend this host and property. A real gem.
