Valerie met us at the apartment and showed us everything and left some good instructions for guests. We felt right at home and settled into her very cosy place - right in the heart of Paris. If you are older, expect to walk up and down several flights of stairs - but this didn't bother us at all. Plenty of shops and restaurants right there and Notre Dame is a block and a half away. Easy commute the the airport by the public transport RER - use Exit (sortie) 6 that has an elevator. Just a short walk away to the apartment. loads of possibilities to use several Metro and bus lines at St Michel. There were four of in the flat and we were very comfortable - the upstairs bedroom is quite large, and quiet.
