"A paradise with balcony on Notre Dame" is truly an accurate description of the cozy apartment, Esmeralda, that was our home during our stay in Paris. While in this enchanting city we become urban explorers in the style of "le flâneur", and the central location of Esmeralda provides us with endless possibilities on any given day. Surrounded by centuries of history, close to the Seine, galleries, parks, shops, bistrots and boulangeries ...yum! Just put on your walking shoes and head out in any direction for a new adventure. And after a day wandering the streets of Paris, we return to Esmeralda, which our gracious host, Michel, has thoughtfully equipped with modern amenities like washer/dryer, dishwasher, and air conditioning to provide convenience and comfort. Highly recommended.
