Location, location, location (and space). We chose this apartment for its fabulous view onto Notre Dame and the Seine, and it did not disappoint. Every day, we gazed out the window at the life of the city, marveling to be so close to the very heart of France. The location was also super convenient to so many popular tourist spots and just across the street from the Metro and the direct train to the airport. With the furnished kitchen, we easily prepared meals, and when we wanted a quick bite out, we could find plenty of options just around the corner in the pedestrian mall. On a practical level, we were looking for the space and convenience of having a full apartment instead of a hotel room, and Jean-Francois's apartment completely met our needs. Highly recommended.
