This is a great location. One side of the island will give you a bridge to the Marais. The other side to St Germain. The tourists are there in the day for the Bertillon ice cream but the night is super quiet. There is a boulangerie, fruits and veggies and also a late night food mart..plus many restaurants. I hope to stay here again. The bed was very comfortable. The shared bathroom still felt private as did the kitchen due to the apartment layout.
