This was our very first Airbnb experience. Although we were a little apprehensive, it turned out that there was nothing to worry about! The apt is in a perfectly convenient location and the pictures are spot on! We totally adored the river views, and you can see the Eiffel Tower, if you look to the right, outside the window. It's beautiful when it "sparkles" late at night!
Just don't forget anything when you go out, because it is a long flight of stairs up.
Boris is a great host in that he is readily available by text and responds quickly to any concerns you may have about the apartment.
The cafe downstairs is satisfactory with simple fare,stews and nice salads and a no nonsense French waitress. Local patrons. We had 2 very nice dinners during our stay: one at Auberge de la Reine Blanche and one at Aux Anysetiers du Roy. Both restaurants are on Rue Saint-Louis en Ille, right there on the island. Both have help that speak English well.
