Iwona & Stephane’s place is in the perfect location. Walking distance to Notre Dame and everything in the Latin Quarter. We took the RER train from CDG and it only required a three block walk from the station, or you could Uber/Taxi if you prefer. The bakery next door is awesome and was a daily treat for breakfast.
The apartment is amazing and was just completely remodeled with high end furnishings and custom furniture. In fact, the furniture was so nice, we were a little worried were were going to scratch or damage it, as it was all very new and very untouched. The apartment features a washer & dryer too, which was a great bonus.
The only two issues, we wish we'd know beforehand so we could have prepared are:
1. Beds - The beds and pillows are SUPER-firm by our standards - but I know this is a personal preference. The bedding consists of only a very thick duvet - no sheets. We ended up sleeping most nights with no covers, as the duvet was too much.
2. AC - One of the reasons that we booked this place was because we were staying in August and wanted an AC as a back-up for hot weather. This was one of the few places we found with an AC in this area. However, the AC is just a portable unit which has been modified as a built-in. So, it only cools one bedroom and the living room. The weather while we were there was in to 70s to low 90s and we ended up needing to use three fans to keep the entire space comfortable for sleeping. We might be spoiled, as we are used to AC, but I imagined the AC would have been better than it was.
In closing, we would definitely stay here again, especially knowing how to prepare now. Stephane was extremely nice and even allowed us a late check-out.
