Nathalie was the perfect host for our stay in Paris. She was very communicative and even made us reservations at a restaurant we were having trouble contacting. The apartment is situated in the most perfect location in the city - Ile St. Louis - simply incredible. The central location puts you walking distance from nearly everything. The decor of the apartment is wonderful, the shower is fantastic with plenty of hot water, and while the kitchen is VERY small, it has what you need for a basic meal or breakfast.

There are a couple of downsides to this apartment. First is the walkup - 4 stories - which did not bother us at all, but could be hard if you are not in good shape. Second is the size, it is quite small, but again did not bother us at all because we were out enjoying Paris. Finally, the loft bedroom, which is where the king bed is. The loft is at the very top of the building and as such has very little headroom - I am 5'11'' and could not stand up straight. Also you access the loft by a steep staircase, which is almost a ladder.

These drawbacks aside, the apartment worked well for us and we would stay again.
