Elisabetta's place is fantastic! It has a wonderful view of the Seine and the right bank and is at the quiet end of the Ile Saint Louis, near the park. Elisabetta's friend Charlie, who greeted us and showed us around the apartment, was very attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. The apartment is also filled with interesting paintings and antiques and has plenty of room to spread out, more than is obvious from the photos alone. The kitchen is very well equipped with dishes, utensils, an apartment-sized refrigerator, small cook-top, coffee makers, basic cooking supplies (e.g., condiments, olive oil, etc.); however, be aware that it is very small and doesn't lend itself to certain types of meal preparation (e.g., there is no oven, only a small toaster oven and microwave); for example, it isn't designed for cooking a large dinner for several people but is perfectly well-suited to preparing breakfasts and lunches (and who would forego dinner at a Paris restaurant?). As mentioned by some others, being on the 4th floor (European designation; 5th floor, American designation) requires one to climb 94 steps from the street level to the apartment. In fact, this turned out to be a blessing for us (and we are both very senior citizens) since it helped compensate for the large restaurant meals we indulged in each evening. In truth, the stairs, themselves, are not steep, but I suspect they could be challenging for someone with certain physical or respiratory limitations (or, perhaps, very large suitcases). For us, the apartment was a true delight, and we hope to be able to stay there on future trips.
