We usually stay further from the centre in Paris, imagining a more local feel and better value; however, we loved staying on the Ile St-Louis. So central and quaint. Lots of tourists, yes, but it wasn’t manic and with a bit of research it’s easy to find good and good-value places to eat and drink.
We had a week of hot weather during our stay and the apartment was warmish but a fan was provided and we could leave the window open as it faces onto a courtyard and there is no noise, so we were quite comfortable. We did eat a lot of ice cream, which is easy to find in that location.
The apartment is cute and decor is modern. It is small but no smaller than it looks in the photos, which are accurate with no trickery.
We had a great time and would certainly consider staying again.
