This apartment was a great find! It was a perfect location for getting all around town. It’s about a 5 min walk from two Metro stops. We didn’t eat at any of the restaurants immediately around it, but just down the street there is a fromagerie, charcuterie and a bakery. We enjoyed treats from those places a few times.
There is a view of Notre Dame from the window, which was very nice. The apartment is a nice and easy walk to lots of places—Notre Dame, the Louvre, a delightful croissant making class, a cute street with lots of restaurants about 15 mins away. It really was a perfect spot for us.
A few things to note: the apartment is on the 4th floor of a very narrow and circular staircase. Two levels is one true floor, so it’s a lot of steps to get up, especially with baggage. You should definitely take that into consideration if stairs or moving luggage is an issue for you. Also, certain basic amenities were not included, as they consider them consumables—hand soap, a dish rag/napkins in the kitchen. Had I known that beforehand, I would have thrown some in my suitcase, but I wasn’t going to go buy it at a store, bc we didn’t spend too much time at the apartment.
Jean-Noel’s instructions for entering the apartment were very clear and concise and we had zero issues getting in. I appreciated how detailed they were.
The heating units warm up the apartment quite well and we were nice and cozy at night with the Paris wind being so strong.
I would recommend this apartment for a family with older kids, maybe 5yrs & up, due to the stairs and the need to be considerate of your noise level.
