location and charm.
first off, the location is incredible. on a quiet pedestrian street a block from Notre Dame, and 2 blocks from excellent metro stops. everything in Paris is simple to get to from here, lots of things an easy walk, and anything else is easily accessible by metro and rer.
this place is perfectly quiet, and quite cute.
some things to be aware of:
1. even with Michel's help, I couldn't get the upstairs ac to work. he was planning to address that after we left.
2. it's 4 fairly narrow flights of steps up. heavy luggage or out shape would be a problem.
3. the spiral staircase is tight for anyone over 6'1.
4. the whole place is open - there's no sound privacy between the 2 sleeping areas.
The sofa sleeper was very comfortable, and Michel was a great communicator!
There are so many good restaurants and grocery stores within 2 minutes' walk. Just incredible.
We had an amazing time here, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
