I have stayed in Paris several times and nothing compares to this beautiful old-world apartment with very modern renovations/amenities and sophisticated decor. I will never be able to stay anywhere else in Paris. Yes, the apartment is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos, in fact even more so. From the moment we stepped into the leafy interior courtyard we were charmed beyond belief. Light floods into the spacious apartment from all sides and the view of Notre Dame is still stunning despite the fire. There is even an incredible rooftop view from the bathtub. Flowers fill the balconies and you even have a little secret view of the Seine from one side! We loved relaxing here after busy days and eating in the lovely cafes on the Île St. Louis and the St. Michel/St Germain quartiers which are very closeby for dinner. We walked to the Louvre and Rue de Rivoli and the metro is very convenient for longer trips. We loved watching the sun set over Paris from the apartment and then walking a short distance to catch a night boat on the Seine to see all the monuments lit up under the stars. Isabelle is a friendly, helpful and attentive host without being intrusive at all! In fact we never saw her except once on the stairwell, but we knew we could contact her anytime if need be. This was a truly spectacular, special and authentically Parisian experience. If you have the chance to book this apartment, definitely do not hesitate. C’est magnifique!
