Maxim was welcoming and helpful. The description was accurate and representative. We remind USA folks that the 3rd floor is the 4th floor since the 1st floor is the one above ground level, :-), so one more flight of stairs. The neighborhood and Ile St Louis was wonderful, We had coffee at the St Regis at the end of the street most mornings. We had dinner along the street (several choices) half of our evening meals during the full week. The short direct and easy walk from St Michael Metro stop along Notre Dame was pleasurable. We lunched at the famous (and expensive) Tour D'Argent and it was a very short walk. We walked to the Latin Quarter for dinner other nights. We had two more choices for close and easy Metro stops with different lines that was helpful for choosing our destination. We felt we had nearly the best location in Paris. We felt safe at all times. I highly recommend with the understanding that the location was the main draw. The apartment was simply okay, if fulfilled our needs. The bath water hot and plentiful, the water good for drinking, the heat available if necessary. The towels adequate, I used the laundry machine for drying hand washables. The bed was comfortable even on the floor (raised a little bit). Closet space was weak, but we did not care. The view is only of the sky and courtyard, but that was fine as well, the street would have been overly noisy, nights were quiet, no issues with sounds. We had a full kitchen that we mostly did not use, other than the refrigerator.
