What a unique place in a prime location! At the epicenter of Paris. Within 5 - 10 minutes walk of several Metro stations, and an easy walk to the Latin quarter and Le Marais. Ile St. Louis is very charming and quiet, with many lovely shops and art galleries. The apartment itself is bright on the main floor, and dark on the bottom floor as depicted in the pictures - for us a good tradeoff for the cool air! The main floor has good airflow from large windows. We were there in July and even though temperatures were mid 80 degrees the apartment was comfortable. Just to be sure, Pierre brought us a second fan to ensure our comfort (we didn't even need it). The apartment faces the courtyard so there is no street noise at all. Thank you Pierre.
