What a great flat in an amazing neighborhood. Exactly as described and a perfect set-up for 3 single traveling gals (2 twins down, 1 queen up). Really comfortable beds, great bathroom (largest I've ever seen in Paris & includes separate water closet) . We arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and the crowd on the island was mainly locals. By the weekend, it picked up quite a bit. I'm sure proximity to Notre Dame had something to do with it. Can't beat a 5 minute walk to this beautiful church! We passed it on our way in and out of the island daily, what a gorgeous site to behold. Easy access to the flat from Eurostar, and even easier to head to CDG. We walked to the RER B stop (10min walk), and from there it was an quick 40 minute ride without needing for a transfer. There is a grocery store and a cheese shop 1 minute walk away... and a wine shop right out front! Important stuff here, folks. Locally, we lunched at Saint Regis one afternoon. Amazing and very accommodating staff. Our last night we ate right across the street at Sorza. Again, great staff and gourmet food to write home about. The chef there is amazing. Great shops right in the hood same street for gift or personal shopping. As others have mentioned, the stairs are a beast. Only bring luggage you can bring up and down many flights. It is quite an old (and gorgeous building), so I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're looking to have a dance party in your Parisian loft as the floors are not the most soundproof.

Waking to church bells everyone morning in this airy flat was quite a dream. I would definitely look to stay here on my next trip to Paris!!
