Large, rambling, beautiful old space, and I mean old. This building along with all the other beautiful buildings on the island all have to be 200-300 years in age; the way the rooms have been built and probably rebuilt over the years are obvious. The view of Notre Dame is not directly out the windows; you have to look to the right to see it but what a view.
This place is blissfully quiet. Most of the walkers are the other side of the street, but those on the building side can look directly in as the windows are on the bottom, first floor. At night we closed the shutters which are marvelous remnants of times gone by and the security was total. The entry is through three doors and the apartment door would take a bazooka to get through.
The island is serene, filled with tourists during the day and about dinner time it dwindles to not many. There are 100 restaurants on the island, most of them very good and a few superb. At least 50 are within three blocks.
Simon is a welcoming and friendly host. He made everything available to us to use. He was timely and always ready to accommodate.
This is a marvelous and gorgeous space in a perfect setting. An evening organ recital at Notre Dame the night before we left teouched off a perfect trip.
