At a stone throw from the Pont Neuf and Notre Dame, this tidy, cozy, and cute apartment is your perfect headquarters for the conquest of Paris. Great wooden floors, nice lighting, charming views through the big windows, and a quiet neighborhood, more than make up for the small kitchen and the three-store staircase climb.
Mathilde acted as a classy and warm host, justly proud and careful of her living place, and genuinely concerned for us having a great time.
This is a real somebody's home, and that's something we appreciated indeed. If you are the type who'd rather have a cookie-cutter environment, decorated and equipped purposedly for tourists, don't hesitate to go elsewhere.
P.D. Your first time in Paris? Don't make the beginner's mistake of climbing the Eiffel tower unless standing for three hours being treated like cattle looks like a good price to pay for a kind of OK aerial view.
