Sophie is a great host and provides a unique and brilliant apartment in the middle of it all on Ile Saint Louis. We enjoyed our five nights there and felt very welcomed. We even met her three-month old grandson when we arrived and she went out of her way to ease our early morning departure to CDG.

As the ad shows, you have a birds-eye view of the Sienne and parts of Paris. Traffic can be a little loud but that is all part of the experience and environment. The apartment is stocked with all of the essentials, and then some bonus items from Sophie! It has multiple Metro line station options within a ten minute or less walk (Pont Marie, Saint Paul, Cardinal Lemoine) to take you elsewhere in the city or beyond. Of course, there are great restaurant and bakery options outside your door on the island.

Being on the fifth floor (technically sixth), you feel like you have your own private experience while also being part of the city. You simply take the elevator down, walk out the big doors and find yourself in the middle of it all. Wonderful.

We joked that the apartment made us feel so much like a real Parisian that we were commenting on the tourists getting in our way! (of course, we were still one of those tourists!)

Highly recommend this apartment as your central HQ during your visit to Paris.

Merci Sophie!
