Corrine was an excellent host! She provided important information to us before we left for Paris. She was out of town during our arrival, but had someone meet us at the flat when we arrived. The flat was better than we pictured. Very contemporary and clean, and a well stocked kitchen. A great place to relax after a long day exploring the streets of Paris. The building felt very secure (two secure gates to get in). We enjoyed the nightly walk up the 96 steps to the top, and joked that if we did that everyday we would be in great shape! The pitter patter of the rain on the roof was wonderful to fall asleep to. I didn't realize when I booked just how close to the "heart" of Paris the flat is. We walked, or took the Metro everywhere!! Notre Dame is visible as soon as you walk out the front door. The Seine and river boat tour are about 3 minutes away, and the Eiffel Tour takes about 35 minutes to walk to, or (15 if you take the Metro. Neighborhood felt very safe. We walked around late at night on several nights. We found our favorite restaurant, Hostellerie de l'oie qui fume, a block away and had dinner there almost every night. The entire visit was wonderful and I would recommend the flat as a great home base for any Paris visit. You won't be disappointed!!
