Emmanuelle replied swiftly and helpfully to every message, and was happy to accommodate our changing arrival time. She met me on arrival, and provided a couple of pages of information about the area so we knew where to get coffee and (organic) bread, patisserie, wine etc., and a few restaurant suggestions. She also left us some basic groceries (coffee, juice, milk, jams) and a bottle of wine to get our trip started! The apartment itself is a good size (especially by central Paris standards), and the high ceilings make it feel spacious. Emmanuelle has renovated it beautifully, in a "rustic-luxe" style, and retained a tremendous sense of history. The bed is soft and comfy, and the wifi was good. I travel to Paris reasonably frequently, and the Ile St Louis is my favourite place to stay. I will check whether Emmanuelle's apartment has availability next time I visit, and stay again if possible.
