What a view!! And those who follow us on media and have been to Paris reply that this is the best perspective on the Paris experience that they have seen. So close to the Seine for Hop-on bus and boating tours, 1 block from Metro and train stations. Short walk to fine restaurants, bistros, shops for cheese, bread, meat, ice cream, etc. Fully stocked kitchen complete with dishes, pots and pans, coffee and espresso maker. This is the oldest building on the Isle and the old plank wood floors and aged plaster walls are still in place offering old world charm. Comfy king bed and full size tub/shower add to comfort and relaxation after 12 days of touring. The fifth floor circle stairway never was an issue for us in our late 50s- no elevator. We look forward to staying here again.
