«Home Sweet Home» sur un jardin paisible à Notre-Dame, Coeur de Paris

Centrally located near Notre Dame Cathedral, markets, and patisseries, this apartment is everything we had wished for an authentic Parisian experience. The apartment is located up one flight of steps from a center courtyard in a historic building that is protected by two gates that lead from a quiet side street. We were thankful that the location of the apartment is near everything yet tucked away and very quiet day and night.

The apartment is exactly as described by our hosts. A lot of careful thought and planning went into transforming the apartment into a smart, functional layout. The historical elements of the apartment have been preserved and naturally coexist with the modern conveniences of today’s living. There is a lot of customization from the layout to the window coverings. The owners took time to think through what visitors may need during a stay, since the kitchen is fully stocked with dishware and utensils. Even though the apartment is small, we had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Paris. We stayed in the apartment over the Christmas holiday, and the owners took the time to add some holiday décor, which added to the charm of the apartment.

Our hosts, Christine and Yann, are simply exceptional. We almost skipped over this apartment during our search because it wasn’t clear how to book the apartment or pay the fees. We are so glad that we emailed Christine and Yann and they gave us options on how to book the apartment. Every detail of the booking process, the arrival process, and deposit refund process was carefully explained and followed through very efficiently by Christine and Yann. They even left us small treats to enjoy during our stay. Our arrival was met by Sofianne, who was arranged by our hosts to greet us and explain how to work all the appliances. He was always available to answer questions during our stay and was a pleasure to meet as well.

There are some minor opportunities to improve this wonderful property, such as softer towels and bed linens that fit the mattress properly. Perhaps consider the purchase of a more comfortable sofa and explore why the bed is a bit squeaky as well. Readers should note that these suggestions are just that, and do not detract from the overall experience of staying at this beautiful, custom designed property. If ever in Paris again, we hope to enjoy staying at Christine and Yann’s apartment, who ensured our visit was meaningful and effortless.

A perfectly situated, very comfortable apartment that is fully equipped with everything you need. Great check in process. Very accommodating and even arranged a car to the airport for us.

We had a lovely stay. Not only a perfect location, but beautiful and warm space with all amenities we could need. Thank you so much!

Great location, wonderful and cosy apartment with all what you need, all sorts of restaurants, shops and Farmer Market all around at walking distance. THE place to be !

This is a wonderful place to stay -- close to everything, full of all of the amenities one would need, modern appliances, comfortable bed, and beautiful surroundings! I couldn't have been more pleased with my first stay here. This apartment is right by the Metro, and also many grocery stores, restaurants, and -- of course! -- is in the shadow of beautiful Notre Dame. I was in the apartment by myself, and really appreciate the gated courtyard (two gates plus my door) to make me feel safe in the middle of a big city. I also enjoyed the quiet! The loudest thing was my neighbor's feet crunching across the beautiful gravel pathway outside. No traffic noise, nothing. Such a luxury. If I return to Paris someday (and I hope I do!) I will absolutely stay here again. Thanks, Christine and Yann, for such a great visit.
