This apartment is a dream. Actually uninhibited views of Notre Dame on one of the most picturesque streets you could peruse in all of Paris. The local cafés are fabulous, and you’re walking distance to multiple historic Parisian spots such as Shakespeare and Co (practically right downstairs), cafe de Flore, the Parthenon, hotel de ville, the louvre, etc. truly you could not be more centralized. The apartment itself is classically Parisian loft style, and while the spiral staircase may seem hard to navigate in the dark it ends up perfectly dividing the space from daily living/eating to resting and sleeping. Because it’s the penthouse, be prepared to carry all of your luggage up a narrow staircase, but it’s SO worth the trek once you reach the beautiful stained glass door. I could not recommend this apartment more, and Michel was a wonderful and very communicative host with plenty of suggestions depending on your taste and preferences. Can’t wait to come back!
