My husband and I stayed at Le Petit Paradis de Paris for a week in July 2013. This apartment was perfect for us. It was located on a vibrant street with lots of restaurants and shops. It was also within a few minutes walk from Notre Dame and the St Michel metro. In fact, we could see the towers of Notre Dame from our window! We like to walk and on our last day walked from the Tour Eiffel to the Arc de Triomphe down past Le Louvre and back to the apartment. The apartment is just perfectly located for seeing all the sites. Of note, there was a major heat wave during our stay and the air conditioner in the apartment was essential to our comfort! We had no problems using the air conditioner. We were out all day and so would turn it on only at night to cool the apartment while we slept. The bed was extremely comfortable - welcome after a long day of site-seeing and the apartment was quiet. The Wifi worked seamlessly - perfect for contacting home and searching internet for planning our days in Paris. There is a patisserie just near the building where we picked up our croissants/baguettes for breakfast and lunch. There are also two supermarkets very close by where we bought fruit, etc. As other reviews indicated - there are a few stairs to walk up to the lift, which goes to the 4th floor, and again from the lift to the apartment on the 6th floor. We only used the lift to carry our luggage to and from the apartment and otherwise walked up and down the stairs to the apartment - not a problem for us but could be for someone with mobility issues. Chantal was a gracious host and very easy to communicate with via email since we didn't have cell phones. She was unable to meet us on our arrival but had kindly arranged for a friend to meet us at the apartment. Chantal did come to see us just before our departure and remained in contact via email during our stay to make sure all was well. To get to the airport we followed Chantal's advice and walked to the RER B located just next to Notre Dame and took one train to De Gaulle - easy and cheap! This apartment was a fantastic value - a chic apartment in a fabulous location for all your needs. We would absolutely rent this apartment again on our next trip to Paris!
