We didn't get to meet Alienor but was greeted and shown around by one of her friends when we arrived. The flat is lovely and has everything needed to feel at home. Rooms are generous size for Paris and there are 3 in total, which can each be blocked off by closing doors. Bed is comfortable and linen fresh. My only recommendation is to supply larger towels. The windows are really high so unless you're very tall cannot be looked out unless you are on the bed or couch and look out from there. They let in lots of light and fresh air though and when closed, block out a lot of noise. The area is not really noisy at this time of year but I would assume that in Summer it would increase quite a lot. There is a small elevator to use and cannot really fit people and bags in together. No problems, just send them up on their own and be waiting. You can also take the stairs but probably not with bags as its 4 floors to ascend. Once in the door, there are some more stairs and could be a tight area for some. The door at the front needs a security code to enter the courtyard and I felt very safe in the building.
The island is lovely. Very central to all the essential Tourist designations. We walked a lot in Paris and also took the Metro which was quite easy to use. Being so close to Notre
Dame we were able to hear the beautiful bells when they rang. Would stay here again.
