We have just spent 6 nights in this delightful apartment. For those of you looking for a truly Parisian visit, in one of the best locations in town, I can highly recommend this place. We loved the truly homely feel, a lovely and loving family clearly lives here. It's very quiet, despite being in the heart of a bustling area. And you can walk to almost all that you want to see. It's even easy to get to from CDG, a simple train trip and we were there (although watch out for which exit you use from Saint-Michel-Notre-Dame - we ended up on an unscheduled exploration!). The only other time we used public transport was to visit the Eiffel Tower (again one simple train trip there and back), and bus on the last day to Gare Montparnasse (also very easy and efficient). All the major attractions, the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Notre Dame, Jardin des Tuileries, Centre Pompidou are walking distance. Love it.

The apartment itself is so very comfortable. The beds are warm, the kitchen has everything you need, the feel is elegant, treasured and about comfort. Loads of space, there were 4 of us using all three bedrooms but we never let crowded. The sitting room was a great space for lounging around in and resting our sore feet.

For those of you who are not from Europe a couple of points, to avoid surprises after the event: it's 64 steps to the apartment, there is no lift. Yes, it's hard the first day with those bags, but the steps are wide and shallow, and just think of the extra bit of exercise you are getting. They get easier with time too!

There is one toilet, but two bathrooms. And the Showers are hand-held, these things are common in Paris. If that's not ok with you, then book a hotel.
