We loved our stay here for many reasons. We expected the view to be wonderful but I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy standing at the window gazing at Notre Dame and the street below. Being winter, the trees were bare of leaves but there was a huge lit Christmas tree in front of the cathedral for a magical effect. There were many extras that made this apartment a comfortable stay. My favorite was the linens! The towels were big and fluffy and sparkling white, quite the exception to my prior experience in apartment stays (and many hotels). The bed and linen, too, were good quality and when I realized the down pillows wouldn’t suit us, firmer ones were delivered. The appliances were like new and functioned well. The washer/dryer combo was a little tricky to master despite some English hints. We couldn’t find the instructions (there were many for the other appliances) so we downloaded them which was the ideal solution. There was plenty of nice dishware and cooking utensils for simple meal prep and a pair of better wine glasses. The bread knife was sharp - so important in Paris. We were delighted to have a milk frothing wand and there was a supply of coffee and filters. There were lots of wooden hangers and the bathroom had good space for our toiletries. The shower head was mounted high and it was lucky I brought my shower cap. The hair dryer was better than the one I own. There were lots of electric outlets which helps with all the electronic gadgets that require charging. There were numerous Paris guides and at least one was a 2017 version. A couple lights were burned out but they were replaced when we mentioned this to Michel. He was extremely responsive and made several good restaurant recommendations in the area. We loved the neighborhood and the metro was not far. We were so happy to come home to Notre Dame after a damp, cold day of walking the city. We would love to return on our next visit to Paris and highly recommend a stay here.
