I always stay on the Ile Saint Louis when I am in Paris (where I spend 4-6 weeks per year every summer) and so I knew that the location is just perfect for me! Some say the Ile Saint Louis is too touristy in summer, but Borzou's studio is on the quiter, eastern half of the tiny island in the Seine - which is really like a small 17th century village.

The studio is exactly as advertised: perfectly located, quiet, 100% updated, small but with all the creature comforts: an A+ "American" kitchen w/ a washing machine, flat screen TV w/ cable, wireless Internet connection and a phone w/ free calls from landline to landline. The studio is in the back of a restored building up 2 flights of 17th century wooden stairs.

Within a ONE minute walk is a post office, pharmacy, small supermarket, bakery, butcher - and, of course, loads of restaurants. The Metro (Line 7, the 'pink' line) at Pont-Marie is a FIVE minute walk across the Pont Marie. I am looking forward to my next visit!
