Getting to stay on the Île-St-Louis and experience the Ludovisien (the name of the people who live on the island) lifestyle is a rare privilege, sought after by many, achieved by very few. Isabelle's modern ground-floor apartment with courtyard entry is a gem! The apartment is located just 50 meters from the17th century St-Louis-en-l'Île church and 100 meters from the Bertillon ice cream parlor. There is hardly any traffic on the island because of the narrow streets and is traversed only by the Pont Marie and Pont de la Tournelle so it's very quiet.
It's a great location from which to explore Paris--either the Right or Left banks, and the Île de la Cité.
If you are planning a longer stay, be sure to ask how to operate the stove and microwave oven (the range will not turn on unless there is a pot on the burner), the washing machine, and the bathroom heater. Europeans might find it easier to negotiate the symbols, but it was all Egyptian hieroglyphics to me.
Isabelle is a bundle of joy to meet and chat with.
Je garderai toujours un très bon souvernir de mon séjour!
