I seek out the most unique airbnb’s I can find and this one fits the bill perfectly. This old building has all the charm and care taken to honor the cathedrals around it. The stained glass window and solid iron doors (to the apt and also to the lower bathroom) are so awesome and I loved the old wooden winding staircase to the bedroom. The towels are thick and fluffy and the shower has a rainshower and good pressure and lots of hot water. The bathtub is huge and the view from the bathroom is as fabulous as the rest of the unit. You can see a small bit of the Eiffel Tower from there peeking out from behind the Eglise St Severine! The view of Notre Dame is just remarkable. You are so close. I could see the workers working to rebuild from the adorable balcony. Even in the rain you can enjoy the view from inside the bedroom. At first I was a bit sad with the bells no longer ringing there but you are literally not even a block from 2 other great churches that were beautiful and you can hear the bells of Eglise St Severine perfectly. I loved how the art in the apartment spoke to the many churches around it and not just Notre Dame. The washer (just under the sink in the bathroom) did a great job of washing the clothes and they would dry easily overnight by hanging. Also the heated towel bar in the bathroom can be turned on by itself (a lot of units require you to increase the heat in the unit to make the towel bar work, this does not) and we used it to dry towels and clothing quickly. They even supplied washer tabs and dishwasher tabs as well! It is in a great area of town and very central to everything in Paris. Shops and restaurants all around and do try the Odette just out the door. Their les choux a la crème were amazing and a great place to kill time if you are waiting on the apartment check in! Cooking was very easy in this apartment and you should have what you need to do so. We cooked several times with no problem. (It’s fun to pretend you are a local and buy your food daily the way the French do, just remember to bring your own bag to carry it all back with you!) You can walk easily around the city from there and the metro line 4 (or RER C and B) are super close by. We easily took the Metro line 4 to Gare Du Nord from here for our Eurostar train when we left. Also easy for arrival. Linda was great with fast responses and very helpful and the information provided for check in by Michel was spot on! Yes there are a lot of stairs (about 80 or so) and a narrow stairwell to get to the unit and no elevator. Mostly that is just a problem with luggage but we managed and it was well worth the extra effort. If I had anything to make this unit better it would only be maybe a less transparent curtain in the bathroom for privacy. But you are up pretty high so only like one other window can see in really. Overall this was a perfect stay for us and we would love to return someday.
