This is a lovely cozy apartment in the heart of it all but yet with a village feel. The neighbourhood is wonderful, with many choices for dining as well as great boulangeries, fruit stands, glaceries (Berthillon! Yes it's worth the wait in line!) and small grocery store all within a few blocks. Do like we did and just bring a small picnic and sit on the bank of the Seine and watch the people and boats. The metro stations are very close by to connect to the major sightseeing places, yet in the morning, the Ile St Louis is very quiet and peaceful. We rested very easily; no noise. Nishu and Dante were wonderful and provided good communication and quick check in. The only bad part was when we had to leave! I hope to return and stay here again some day...
