We were delighted with Simon's apartment in Paris. The location is fantastic and the apartment has lots of old-world charm. The apartment is also really spacious with a large living area (larger than it appears in the pictures), a full dining room, and a full eat-in kitchen. The apartment has a marvelous view over the Seine looking at the back of Notre Dame. We were really happy to be able to spread out, and host a local friend for drinks and snacks that were easy to buy at the shops right around the corner. The apartment is on the ground floor in a historic building. There are metal shutters, some electric, some mechanical, which you can shut at night for safety and privacy. Overall, it worked really well for our family of four. Merci, Simon!
