The apartment was lovely and our host was magnificent!
An unexpected surprise was the ideal location. We stopped at the market (and wine cellar) next door and the boulangerie across the street at least once a day. From the apartment, it is about a mile or less to great neighborhoods such as Isle Saint-Louis, Bastille, Saint-Denis, and Le Morais. We were able to walk to Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle, Opera Bastille, and even the Louvre and d'Orsay museums (and several other great locations!). The metro stop just a few steps from the front door takes you to the 9 line, which is the central artery for reaching just about any destination in and around Paris. I can't imagine a better location for exploring Paris.
If you are in the apartment on a Sunday morning, I recommend you stand on the front balcony, which overlooks the twin steeples of Saint Ambroise, and record the peeling of the bells.
Thank you, Eve, for opening your home to us making our stay so comfortable.
