What a perfect location to walk around Paris! The apartment is large and spacious (especially considering its prime central location in a charming neighborhood). We were close to everything but the apartment was on a quiet street with fantastic views of Notre Dame and the Seine. Since it’s on the ground level with a sidewalk right outside the windows we closed the metal shutters at night and any time we wanted privacy. It was winter and we were out and about most of the time anyway, so that was no problem for us. Some of the decor and furnishings are showing signs of wear and there was peeling paint on the ceilings, but our family of four had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Simon is such a warm and welcoming host. He was very responsive and gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations. Check-in was a breeze. Maria the building custodian was delightful and took time to give us a tour of the apartment and help us get settled. We had a wonderful time in Paris!
