A lovely home away from home
We had a wonderful stay here, for sixteen days. Our kids slept well on the foldout couch and the bedroom was spacious. The apartment is charming and homey, and we enjoyed getting home at the end of a long day sightseeing. There are numerous shops, restaurants and grocery stores in the area. Notre Dame is a five minute walk away. Metros are close-by--Pont Marie station and Cité station were the ones we used most frequently. The Seine is all around and the island of Île St. Louis was lovely, but not noisy. It was a perfect location to reach all of the sites you might want to visit.Gina, the property manager, was always helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had.The washer/dryer is a combo machine that we were not familiar with, so that took some figuring out, and Gina helped us with that. Occasionally, the power would go out, but I believe this was primarily because 1) it is a lovely old building and 2) it was winter,so we had the heat on all the time. We found that if you turn off the heater in the bedroom, then you could do a load of laundry or a load of dishes. But if you had them both going at once, the electricity would go out and you'd need to press the button in the box by the door to turn it back on. This was by no means a deal-breaker, though! It's just helpful to know if you are there in winter. I like quirky buildings, so it wasn't a problem.The stairs gave us a workout, but we loved our view! I would highly recommend this apartment.
