We loved Boris' apartment for its location and views. There were two different metro lines within a 5-10 minute walk, a bus less than 5 minutes, making it very easy to get around the city from our home base. The island was quite and didn't feel like it was in the middle of the city. Most stores closed early at night, by 7:30 it seemed, but restaurants and little bodegas were open for things we needed, and of course the rest of the city so close. The view from the window was incredible, and we spent most of our time in the apartment sitting by the window and watching the Seine and Eiffel Tower sparkle at night. The bed was the only downside for us, a real mattress rather than fold out couch cushions would make this place absolutely perfect. Boris' helper met us at the apartment when we arrived and even helped us pick up a jacket we left behind after checking out. Thanks for the lovely stay!
