Alain and Dora are fabulous hosts. Our plane was late, but we found them waiting for us in the apartment. They showed us all around, explained how to use the washer/dryer, stove and heating units. They also helped us with directions and were very quick to respond to any questions we had. They really are super people.
The unit itself dates back to the 1600's. It is very unique with the rounded doorways that are made of stone. The original beams can be found on the ceilings. There are updated appliances, plenty of hot water, washer/dryer etc. We didn't seem to be lacking any essentials.
The location of the unit is good. It is a short walk to the Metro and buses went by the main street quite often. We were able to work to Notre Damn, Opera House and Louvre. There are plenty of restaurants/cafes nearby and some shopping. There is a lively little restaurant/bar right across the street from the unit. There were many people waiting to get into this restaurant on the weekend and were sitting outside at tables visiting with one another.
