I stayed in this apartment with my mom. I picked this home because of the proximity to Notre-Dame. Host are friendly and responsive. The apartment is small and charming, however, I was discourage to find out how noisy it was and that we have to go to the basement to use the bathroom. The street is very very noisy and the first floor apartment feels too close to the street to hear busy restaurant conversations across the street. Traffic did not seemed to quiet much thru the night. There are no walls but curtains making it hard to feel private. We could hear the upstairs neighbor early morning and nigh time. I disliked going down the narrow steps to the bathroom and kitchen. Small children/older guess may have a difficult time going down the steps, specially at nights. Paris is charming and we visit often and hope to visit again.
