Perfect place, perfect hosts, perfect city. In late July we had the privilege of staying at the beautiful apartment owned by Christine and Pascal. We arrived with quite a bit of luggage and were immediately assisted by Pascal ...which was no easy task! Upon entering the apartment we heard a knock on the door and it was Christine welcoming us with fresh hot crepes! These hosts were wonderful...making us feel at home without being intrusive or bothersome.
The apartment easily sleeps 6 and was both charming and clean. We found no problems with the wifi and were pleasantly surprised at the various available amenities. Please know that very few places in Paris have air conditioning...and this place was no exception. To keep cool at night we simply opened the windows and took advantage of the cross-ventilation...the place cooled down nicely at night - keep in mind that we were in Paris during one of the hottest months. Also, there is no washer/dryer...but I'm pretty sure there are such amenities nearby.
Perhaps the best part about this apartment is its location. It is located in a quiet (and safe) area right next to the Jardin Des Plantes. It is no more than a 10 minute walk to the Seine where you can pick up the boat taxi that will take you to just about anywhere in Paris near the Seine. The apartment is about a 15-20 minute walk to Notre Dame...a walk we made often during the day and at night.
All in all, this is truly a beautiful place in the heart of Paris...and well worth a visit.
