A fantastic location for visiting Paris. Any place along the Seine is ideal for a visitor, but this area offers multiple metro stations within a few blocks so we never had to transfer trains to access any of the sites we wanted to visit. Easy to walk to many sites as well as restaurants and shopping.

Thank you Chris! Very happy you enjoy your stay!
See you again
The flat is 1 block from Notre Dame Cathedral. You wake up and enjoy a coffee and croissant on your morning walk. You repeat the process for your after dinner stroll. It’s magic.Everyone wants to be on this island. There is a magnificent restaurant right across from the flat. It is a very safe area as there is a police station across the street.

I am so happy you enjoy my flat and the tremendous location. Thak you for your review Hope to see you again!
Danielle was awesome. The apartment was perfect for us. It was in the heart of the city center and easy to access all of Paris. It had all of the essentials for an amazing trip. We would definitely stay here again!
It is a strategic location for visiting Paris without stress. The house is a few steps from Notre Dame, just behind it. Cross any of the bridges nearby and you can walk everywhere. Transportation is also great, RER a few steps away, right in front of Notre Dame. The two islands are very enjoyable if you want to have a pic-nic seated by the Seine, or quiet dining at the marvelous triangular Place Dauphine. We also enjoyed listening to the bells of Notre Dame in the morning. The house has all that is needed. The bed is firm and nice, the kitchen is excellent if you plan to dine in, the check-in process is accurate and stress-free. Thank you Danielle!
We love this flat so much that this is the second time we’ve booked it. Extremely quiet and comfortable. Excellent location. Enjoyed crossing a bridge every time we wanted to visit mainland Paris.
You will not find a better location than this site. It is 2 short blocks to the Notre Dame and a lot of the Paris must see sites are walkable. That said the site is small and it is only adequate for a couple or an individual. It is a three story walkup so include this in your evaluation. The dish washer was out of service but this was not relevant to us as we prefer to eat out. We found the price expensive but again you are paying for the location. We had some problems following the metro instructions to get to the proper metro station but that may have been our issue.
Easy and friendly checkin, couldn't ask for a better location and the owner was very accommodating which made our visit so much better. Expect some noise from the unit above and other residents that are coming and going, but in general, a very quiet location.

Great location, restaurants, gelato, metro close by. Sheets had stains and bath towels were like 5 year old dish towels. Exterior was under major construction. Overall the great location outweighed the negatives.

Clean, comfortable and convenient. Great location that makes it easy to see the sights but also feel like part of the neighborhood. The owner and staff were terrific and helpful. Wifi worked well (I did join a couple meetings via Teams) and speed was very good

Great Location
Great location, near Notre-Dame and RER but very quiet. Apartment was clean and as pictured. Only slight complaint is that the bed was very hard compared to what we were used to in the states. Would they there again.

Thanks Rhonda for your review. I'm sorry you did'nt like hardness of the bed! Difficult to satisfy every body: some like, some don't. But good to say it for futur guests.
Kindly, Danielle
Absolutely outstanding! The apartment is beautiful and efficient - plenty of storage space and all the amenities provided. The location is perfect. The owner is very communicative and answered all questions during and after our stay. If I could give a rating of higher than five stars I would!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Danielle's lovely apartment! It was our first visit to Paris & it was a convenienct location, allowing us to explore the area with ease. The famous Notre Dame is just around the corner, and there's plenty of great restaurants & shopping within walking distance. Danielle contacted us via text & was very helpful from beginning to end! We would certainly stay in her historical apartment again.
Location was terrific. On St. Louis we found wonderful stores to buy cheese and produce. Vegetable/fruit store had wonderful prepared take away items. Kitchen well stocked with utensils. FYI there is a light switch outside front door to turn on stair light.
We had a lovely stay at the apartment!! Excellent location, all remodeled apartment, well equipped!! Super worth!!! We loved it!!!! Izabel greater is super nicely also!!! She is lovely!!!
This property is in the perfect location. We walked to museums and parks in 15 minutes. We were close to the Metro and any transportation that we could have needed.
The building and apartment are perfect. Loved the quiet courtyard, and friendly neighbors. So many restraints to chose from right around the corner.
Thank you for everything.

Beautiful apartment! We felt truly Parisienne in this historic flat. Perfect location!
This apartment was exactly what I was looking for in an accommodation. Modern with all the conveniences for a family of 4-washing machine, small kitchen with refrigerator, nice size bathroom and great location for all the tourist sites-steps from Notre Dame. The exterior sold me and was just as described-beautiful old building with courtyard and very secure with locked outer courtyard door, across the street from a police station. Check-in was easy and local information/tips provided. The apartment was clean on arrival and quiet for our entire stay. We loved it and would stay here again!

Thanks Julie! I would love to welcome you again in the future
Fantastic location.The apartment was clean and all the systems worked.
It is a third floor walk-up as explained by the owner. However the stairs are twisty and worn with age. Not a good choice for those with mobility issues.
Apartment located in the center of everything. Just the right size. Great kitchen and bathroom. Very comfortable. Gorgeous courtyard building. I can’t recommend highly enough. Danielle was a wonderful host, accommodating and present. Merci Danielle! Jusqu'à la prochaine fois!
