My wife and I stayed about a week in the apartment, and it was exactly what we hoped it would be: comfortable and well-equipped and superbly located. The host graciously went out of his way to respond positively to all our requests. The location absolutely couldn't have been better for what we wanted to do in Paris.

We recommend the apartment without reservation -- or, more precisely, with only one reservation. As the description made clear from the beginning, it is up four flights of stairs with no elevator. I'm 70 and have had a hip replacement, and my wife's 68 and she's recently had a knee replacement. Lugging the suitcases up and down is a task that shouldn't be underestimated. But if you're up to that task, everything else is great. It's close not only to Notre-Dame and the other sights along the Seine, but also to restaurants, cafes, boulangeries, charcuteries, fromageries, wine sellers, general grocery stores, etc. And the English-language bookstore (along with any number of French bookstores) is right around the corner.
