The location is excellent, on the (what we called) the little island, right next to the "big island" where ND is. The apt is right in the center of things, yet quiet at night for a good night's rest. There are shops all along the streets; boulangeries, grocery stores, little gifts/novelties shops, coffee, smoothie, and gelato shops - we loved the gelato right across, it was convenient enough to send our 12-year-old to get some treats (while we watched him from the apt window above). Everywhere you went, you would cross a bridge - just beautiful! The hosts were very responsive, we were welcomed in person and got the lay of the land when we arrived. Everything was neat and clean. The apt would be smallish for 4 adults, but would be fine for a family with two young kids. Perfect for a couple.
