We had a lovely time. The flat was very comfortable and charming. Our kids loved being on an island and it made Paris seem even more magical to them. The location is so very central that we could walk almost everywhere we wanted to go, from the Marais, to the Louvre, to the Left Bank, and crossing the Seine and walking the Quais and seeing the river all around you really was unique. We appreciated we could actually make breakfast in the kitchen. And it was surprisingly quiet. Perfect for a family of 4 or even 5.
