Boris was a great host. Even though he was out of town, he arranged for us to check in early, very helpful. He left lots of helpful information as well (make sure you read it!). The apartment was exactly as advertised. Small, up four flights of narrow stairs, and in an older building. But perfectly functional. And the location was perfect! Beautiful view of the Seine and Left Bank on Ile St. Louis. We just loved the little Island; a little less bustling than the rest of the area. I would recommend staying here.
