My wife and I have been through our fair share of
Airbnb's (we're currently undertaking a 6 week European trip using Airbnb) and we think Emmanuelle's place is the best we've come across! I suspected it was going to be really nice when we booked it but it still took our breath away when we stepped into her place.

Emmanuelle has done a great job of keeping the 17th century charm by retaining original features such as the stone walls and wooden celling beams. However, she has also managed to incorporate all the modern amenities superbly - from the bathroom, to the kitchen to the washer and heating. I'm glad Emmanuelle has uploaded more photos of her place but even they don't really do it justice. We stayed here for 8 days and we couldn't get enough of the place. There really is a charm about this apartment that is hard to describe.

The location is magnificent. Ile St. Louis is so central. We walked to St. Germain (we walked passed the Notre Dame every day); we walked to Le Marais; at night we took the Velib bikes for a ride to the Louvre and back. If we couldn't walk there we simply used one of the metros close by.
Pont Marie is the nearest metro and even Notre Dame or St. Michel are not far at all.
Even though it's so central, because it is essentially an island, Ile St. Louis doesn't suffer from a lot of vehicle traffic which makes it a great place just to walk around. You're also close to all the Berthillon ice-cream stores (try the yuzu flavour!).

Emmanuelle herself was unbelievably helpful. I corresponded with her multiple times during our stay asking for restaurant and market tips, transport advice and even where to get printing done. She was promptly responsive each and every time.

We seriously cannot think of a negative about this place. There are 66 steps to get to the apartment which may be tiring at first but then you can rest in your lovely space once you get up there!

We cannot recommend this place enough. Yes, there are more budget conscious lodgings out there, however, If you're wondering whether this place is worth it, we think it most certainly is. We would love to have another opportunity to stay here again.
