This ground-floor access (no need to carry suitcases up lots of stairs!), bijou residence on the Ile St Louis is quaint, comfy, full of character and on a surprisingly quiet street for the middle of Paris. Yet it's within walking distance of the major city-centre attractions and you feel welcomed home coming back after a hard day of sight-seeing by the lovely decoration and furniture in the appartment. Nishu has provided guide books and there is a small library if you'd rather read with a coffee at one of the local cafes rather than going like tramping the streets. There are restaurants, bars, cafes, patisseries and mini-markets nearby, with cheaper ones on the mainland and within walking distance, so self-catering using Nishu's well-stocked kitchen and utensils is perfectly possible. The Metro and RER stations are also close so getting elsewhere is easy. Nishu rang as soon as I booked to give further details and arranged for very friendly folk to meet us, both on arrival and when we left. It's great to have a separate living area, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom (with a proper bed, not a pull-out!). We loved our 5-night stay in Nishu's place - my wife's first time ever in Paris! Merci bien Nishu!
