Bernard’s flat is lovely and we truly felt like we were in an idillic Parisian setting. The place is well equipped and made us feel right at home. We had no trouble getting up and down the four flights of stairs though they are on the steep side. The neighborhood around the flat is nice and we found several great restaurants even on the same block! Several Metro stations are within a couple of blocks walking distance which makes it easy to access the rest of Paris, though we also enjoyed walking the 25 minutes down to Notre-Dame.
