About this property

Charming apartment with terrace, steps from Notre-Dame

Imagine a truly unique location, steps from Notre-Dame and close to everything, the modern comfort with the charm of the old Paris, and a private flowery terrace…

Picture yourself in the morning, waking up under 200 year old beams, in a cozy, comfortable apartment. Then walking down the block to a wonderful bakery, enjoying stunning views on Notre-Dame, and returning with croissants and brioche. You have a delightful breakfast on the terrace, under the hazel tree.
What would you like to do today? So many monuments to visit in the surroundings. Or a cruise on the Seine River, the start is right here. Maybe this morning you’d like to experience the local Maubert fresh market ; the kitchen is fully equipped for you to accommodate then these finest ingredients and prepare a gorgeous meal.
If the Saint-Germain shopping experience is only planned for tomorrow, you can also go for antiques, explore bookstores (you’ll love Shakespeare & Co), or take a stroll to the Louvre.
The apartment is so close to everything that you can come back for an afternoon break before heading out for dinner. Let’s appreciate for a while the tranquility of the garden terrace, with a glass of wine and some fine music.
For dinner, what about the small café we recommended to you? Or you can celebrate at the famous “Tour d’Argent” overlooking the Seine!
And then, you could close the evening with one of the best jazz sessions in Paris, in two medieval caves just nearby, and return home by the banks of the Seine, wandering at the stars, and lights of Notre-Dame. A perfect end for a perfect day.
Enjoy a quiet night in your lovely room. An prepare for yet another perfect day.


The apartment is 538 Sq Ft / 50m², with a 690 Sq Ft private terrace.

The large living room, with wooden floor and wooden beams, comprises a dining space, and a sitting area with direct access to the terrace. The leather sofa converts to an excellent quality bed. The living room is equipped with 42” LCD TV with cable, very-high-speed Wi-Fi Internet, Hi-Fi system, DVD player, and books on Paris, French literature, French cuisine…
The open-plan and fully-equipped kitchen includes a four-burner induction stove, an oven, a microwave, a Nespresso coffee maker, a dishwasher, a complete supply of cookware, contemporary dishes, cutlery and glassware. All you need is here.

The 690 Sq Ft terrace, in addition to the many trees and plants, has a dining area for 4 guests, and a sitting area with sofa and armchairs.

The quiet master bedroom has a comfortable queen-size bed and spacious closet with mirrors.

The tiled bathroom has a bathtub with shower, a towel warmer, and a washing machine with tumble dryer. Toilet is separated.

A secret oasis in the heart of Paris

The apartment is delightful with every amenity provided. It is so close to all the Ile de la Cite attractions and is tourist central, but when you are relaxing on the balcony you could not not be further from the hustle and bustle. Thank you Aurelian for your assistance and sharing this special place

Heaven in Paris

What an amazing accommodation! The hosts were incredibly helpful and just a phone call away. We couldn't have picked a better location to visit Paris. It is close to so many attractions and we just loved being able to walk and explore and the coming back to this most charming residence for a little break. Will definitely stay here again. It was just perfect.

Our home away from home

This is the perfect place to stay for a Paris visit. In fact, this is the 4th time we’ve stayed here and in different seasons. The apartment is perfect to be lazy or very active. The neighborhood offers all you could possibly want or need - the best cheese store, bakeries, wine shop and farmer’s market. The owner is remarkable and so responsive. Can’t wait to return.

Great location!

We loved being so close to everything, yet just barely enough removed from where all the traffic was ~ 1/2 block away. It is a wonderful location and very quiet. The terrace made the space seem even bigger, too. When it wasn’t raining, we got to enjoy the outdoor space. The owner and housekeeper even stopped by to greet us and drop off fresh plants for the terrace. The bedroom is small, but it met our needs for sleeping. The bathroom shower had amazing pressure, and the tub was big and glorious to soak in.

Well appointed, lovely flat across the street from Notre Dame

We thoroughly enjoyed Aurelian's apartment. She accommodated our late arrival and was responsive to questions. Lovely building in the heart of everything. Patio was a huge bonus. We relaxed and ate outside and enjoyed the beautiful Paris weather. A clean, conveniently located gem in the heart of everything. Thanks so much!!!

Fantastic location. Relaxing outdoor patio.

LOCATION: Everything about this property was exactly as expected according to the pictures and descriptions. Located just steps from Notre Dame Cathedral, the location of this apartment is central to many restaurants, sweets, bakeries and grocery stores. The train is steps away. The River Seine is also steps away. UNIT: As other comments have mentioned, there is a small staircase or very small elevator to get to the second floor to access the unit. An extra large suitcase could be a challenge. Also, the ceiling in the unit is low. My husband is 6'1" and bumped his head getting out onto the outdoor patio. It's not that big of a deal considering you're not going to be staying indoors much anyway. But the unit might feel smaller than it is due to the low ceiling. The full size refrigerator and ice trays were excellent. Dishes, pots and pans were well stocked. Fans in the living room and bedroom were much appreciated as we were there in July.HOST: Our host was very responsive and communicative when we had questions. Instructions were detailed and the Guest Book in the unit was very helpful for finding grocery stores and other resources. We arrived as the cleaning service was leaving; she was delightful and helpful explaining how to use the keys to the building and the unit.PATIO: We used the outdoor patio much more than we expected. Sitting on the patio enjoying cheese, fruit and a drink after a day of sightseeing was very relaxing. Loved it!

Disappointing

This would be a great apartment for the months of April through October, when the terrace would be a wonderful addition, but not for the cooler, rainy months when it's too cold to sit outside. In February, during our stay, it was dark inside the apartment, so it was a bit dreary. The washer/dryer combo works extremely well - it actually dries the clothes - and the shower has good water pressure. The bedroom is very tiny, so you can only get out of the bed on one side. These are little things that may or may not cause you concern but they are good to know. I would not rent this apartment again in the winter months.

Absolutely wonderful apartment. This was our 4th stay in Aurelian's amazing place. That tells you how special we think it is. The kitchen is well supplied and everything is kept in excellent running order. Everything you need to prepare meals at the end of the day. The deck is a real oasis in the city. You sometimes have to share the deck with the pigeons but hey, you’re in the middle of the city. The living spaces are open and well appointed. It is a real bonus to have the large dining area. The bedroom is small but the bed is comfortable. He is in the process of replacing the sofa bed mattress which will be a good improvement. Hot water and washing machine are outstanding. Aurelien is an amazing host. This is a real gem. A very special from which to discover Paris.

Location Location!

This is a great spot to “base” out of. It was our first Paris experience and nice to have both the subway and “big bus” around the corner….both made moving around easy. There are many restaurants around as well. The host was very pleasant and went above and beyond! The shaded private patio would have been nice, but it was unseasonably hot. The price/location cannot be beat! Thanks!

Apartment opposite Notre Dame

The apartment was very good, 10 steps and there was Notre Dame. Well furnished with lounge/sofa bed (we didn’t use it so can’t comment on its comfort as a bed). Dining table and chairs, the kitchen was well equipped. The bed linen and towels are of good quality.The terrace, with outdoor furniture, was a definite plus. Although with all the restoration works at Notre Dame and road works it was very dusty. Although there are fans, I think in summer it might be quite hot. Communication with the owner was excellent. Would definitely stay there again when in Paris. One note, the street number on the website is 18 but on the plaque at the door where you actually access the building it is 19.

Home away from home in Paris

My goal was to spend a week in Paris with no real plans, just hanging out and enjoying the area. I found this apartment and initially thought it sounded too good to be true. After reading all the reviews I booked it. The apartment will now be my home away from home when I visit Paris. It is centrally located next to Notre Dame (right around the corner) but feels like a world away. Depending on your mood you can turn right and have all the touristy things or turn left and be on quiet streets. I spent many hours out on the deck either for coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening. It's close to a wonderful farmers market and amazing restaurants. The owner is very responsive and easy to work with. Also, I was a single woman traveling and felt very safe. Will definitely stay here again!

January stay

Aurelien was an irreproachable host. He came whenever we needed him, even for minor things. The apt is wonderfully located in a warren of ancient curving streets just off the quai. Grocery stores are 2 blocks away; another two blocks and you're at Place Maubert, with an excellent bakery, charcuterie, butcher, fishmonger, cheese shop, etc. The apt's finest feature, a big terrace, we could not really use, since it was January. But the LR/DR/kitchen is sufficient. The BR is just a space for a mattress. And rue de la Bûcherie is a few hundred yards from Notre Dame. We had no complaints.

About the host

Hosted by Aurelien Vigano

Host profile image
Welcome to Paris, where we live with our four sons.
We love the heart of Paris, where we have lived for 18 years. And during your stay you may well bump into us at the bakery or by the playground in front of Notre-Dame.

Why they chose this property

We came to Paris as students 18 years ago, and never left the Latin Quarter since.
We have lived in this apartment for 13 years, we built a family here.
When our twins are born three years ago we had to move. But we would not leave the area, and our home is 5' away.
That also means we will (almost) always be here if you need some help, or tips.

What makes this property unique

We love this place, we entirely renovated it over the years, made it extremely functional, while keeping its charm.
And we fully refurbished it this year, for you.
