This apartment was lovely. Upon arrival we were greeted with a delicious cake with a personalized message , very sweet. The location could not be any better. If you like to walk you can explore several neighborhoods from your door and quite a few main attractions. Notre Dame is right behind you and we took full advantage as it is a free attraction we went inside to mass and visited more than once, coming home at night to it you ,marveled over the different things you saw each time. The neighborhood has both the tourist feel and the real Parisian feel. Restaurants abundant within walking as well as shopping. Two metro stations very close as well as taxis at your fingertips because of the cathedral. The apartment is unique in that it is in such an old historical building and area but your host have put in the modern fixtures in wonderful way. The lighting the beams etc. we were there in winter, it was wet and a bit chill felt nice to come home to a warm place, the kitchen has everything you could need, although we did not cook any big dinners we had coffee and tea and bought cheese crackers and local food from market to snack, and sustain between excursions. Beds were comfortable with nice linens. Lots of tourist books on the shelves, umbrellas in the closets and little shampoos in the bathroom. A little desk area convenient for charging phones ,going on computer and organizing yourself. Free wi if but it did not always work in lower bedroom. The river Siene is right out your doorstep as well, we did not hear any noise from the street at all, the shutters on the windows are both charming and functional. If I were to return to Paris , I definatly would stay here again. Considering all the options you can have I believe that's a great recommendation .
