I really do not want to write this review because I am greedy and this place must be available again for us but because Antoine - the host - is the best I am writing this American style review which I rarely do to say this: You need to book this place. You must. Do not look further.
The Seine. Full Eiffel tower…shining every hour at night. Have not booked the place yet? Pantheon. And Notre Dame. Located in In Ile Saint Louis (Emily in Paris Episode 1). Tour D’Argent. In all 270 degree view. Absolutely stunning. Every day river cruise passing by and weekends crowds gathering to sing, dance and to play music while picnic.
Location-wise, this island is in the middle of a lot of places: Close to Le Marais, Notre Dame, Louvre/Honore, Saint Germain. All in 15-20min beautiful walk along Seine. At night, safe (and full of people) and bright.
The apartment itself, fully renovated, super clean, all amenities at your disposal (thanks to generous Antoine) and actually chicly decorated in pink. The floor is soft wood which we loved to lie down on. The flat spans 360 degrees so it is very bright and airy throughout the day. And yes Bed is super comfortable too.
The only downside? No elevator and up in the 4th floor. But we needed it after eating so much food in Paris…
And bonus - the island itself is a hidden gem. Berthillion (best icecream), cute local bakery, fromagery and grocery. And some touristy restaurants but you are crazy not go St Germain or Marais across the street and eat some good food. Ans even to China Town!!
If you have not booked this place already until this sentence you usually fail to queue up quickly in real life.
