We travel a lot and stay at nice hotels (Ritz, JW Marriott, etc.) this place for the $ matches up with any in the heart of Paris near Notre Dame. It is all very modern and recently fully refinished. Everything is basically brand new. The hosts provided nice touches such as local recommendations, products for use in the bathroom, etc. Check-in is easy, and the place is very secure (outer door with code, two (2) inter doors with locks). We also enjoyed the fact that each bedroom had A/C (Something you don't always find in Europe). Would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone traveling to Paris. You simply cannot get a better location (directly on the Seine across from Notre Dame).
