Ben's apartment was clean and very well equipped. The stairs were a little difficult to manage with heavy luggage and it's a little noisy at night but hey! that's Paris! The location is superb and allowed us to visit Notre Dame more than once. We were even lucky enough to experience the Gregorian Chant Mass on Sunday morning. We were able to get around easily from the apartment and had a wonderful few days. Great place to stay if you don't mind the stairs.
