This is the second time we have stayed at Isabelle's place and we will return again. The location is absolutely the best to access the various neighborhoods of Paris. It is an easy and short walk to the Isle de la Cite and Isle Saint Louis - and Notre Dame. Easy to walk to Saint Germain des Pres, as well as getting to our favorite shopping area - Le Marais. Plus there are many buses and metros that are a stone's throw from the apartment so you can get anywhere in the city easily. The area is not touristy at all and we love looking out the window at the Marche Maubert which happens 3 times a week. Great shopping nearby for food, cheese, and more.
The apartment is just lovely and full of character. It is light and bright with high ceilings and has a balcony that is perfect for 2 people to enjoy your morning coffee and baguette or evening glass of wine. The floorplan is spacious and i love that it has an actual foyer. On the 2nd floor (French) but there is an elevator which is a great. The decor is very French versus some other places I have stayed at that were very sterile feeling with no pictures on the wall etc. Also, in the dining room there is a Murphy bed so great for two single people (or two couples although only one bathroom) - last time I went with my mother and it worked out well. Isabelle and Herve were great at communication and meeting us at the apartment. They were very responsive by text and email. Cannot say enough about what a great place this is to stay in Paris. As I said, we will return as we come often to Paris and this is our favorite Airbnb we have stayed in (and we have stayed in quite a few).
