We enjoyed our stay here for a week. The location is great, on an island between the Marais and the Latin Quarter and near Notre Dame. It’s walking distance to most tourist attractions, and a short walk from two subway lines and many bus lines. It seems very safe at all hours. A nice bakery is a few doors away to get your morning croissants, and there are many shops and restaurants close by, including the famous Berthillon ice cream (try the chocolate flavor).

Elaheh was very helpful and responsive. She met us for an early check-in and waited while our flight was delayed. She showed us how to use the kitchen, the TV (with hundreds of obscure channels, and some news stations in English) and the washer (which is handy to have even without a dryer). We didn’t contact her for the rest of the trip because there were no problems.

The apartment is fairly small (typical for Paris), but the sofabed was comfortable. There’s no street noise (except the faint tolling of the bells during the day from the amazing 1675 church across the street), but you can occasionally hear a few sounds from the neighbors, however it was nothing bothersome. The shower stall is not huge, but it was adequate. The water pressure is very good, and plenty of hot water. The heat in the room was good for December, and you control the heater. The two short flights of stairs up are solid but slightly uneven, however it’s no problem if you take it slow and hold on to the railing. It’s a nice place to stay in a great area of Paris.
