The Ile St Louis apartment was a wonderful place to stay. It was clean, the bed comfortable, plenty of hot water and good water pressure. I was met on time by the ownerââs representative, who answered all my questions. The apartment has a washing machine (the spin cycle has to be set manually each time) and it is great since I only travel with a carry on bag. Ile St Louis is quiet and very safe. Many excellent resturants on the island, 3 bakeries within a few hundred feet, and a fruit market that will squeeze fresh orange juice each morning, is around the corner. One can walk to many of the sights of Paris, but the Pont Marie metro stop is literally within sight of the front door. Apartment is perfect for a couple, or a single. The âkitchenâ is not equiped for cooking, just morning tea or coffee. So plan on eating out, but why else come to Paris!! The bathroom has a tub shower, so one must be able to step over the side of the tub safely. There is an elevator to the 4th floor and then a short (but narrow) 8 or 9 steps up to the apartment. This is a wonderful apartment, and at the price for the location cant be beaten. I have stayed in Paris over a dozen times, and considering all factors, this is a 5 Star property. I laughed when I read the review that was critical of the size of the apartment and the lack of view from the windows. If one wants to stay at a Ritz Carlton, then do so, but dont bring those expectations to Paris, you miss the whole point of a different culture. Heartily recommend.
