This is a beautiful and scenic central spot in Paris yet very quiet at night because it's on an island. The street has variety of useful and friendly stores - bakeries, cheese and meat stores, small grocery stores, chocolate and ice-cream stores and multiple restaurants. Perfect!
The apt is as advertised. Clean, a comfortable bed, good water preasure in the shower, really hot water if you want, basically everything you need including morning sunshine. The windows open to an inner court yard which makes it quiet. The walls are thin but everyone's hours seem respectably normal. It's not a party street with bars.
Everything is close, from multiple metro stops to RER train B which gets you to the airport. It's just a short walk to Notre Dame across a pedestrian bridge to the next island. Le Marais, a fashionable district, is just off the island on the Right Bank, whereas Saint Germain which goes through the hip Latin Quarter is just on the Left Bank.
Maxim was very helpful, advising us on reataurants, helping us havd a museum pass delivered before we arrived, and welcoming us on check-in. We hope he likes the fine Canadian whiskey we brought him.
We were very pleased wirh everything and found Paris much friendlier than the last visit 25 years ago. Merci Maxim!
