Perfect and Wonderful! Could not have been happier with this lovely apartment for our first trip to Paris -- the location cannot be beat, central to everything and easy to hop on the Metro close by to get wherever you need to go, yet on quiet Ile St. Louis, you feel like you are in a small respite from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Paris. Around the corner from the apartment you have restaurants and shops, groceries, Notre Dame close by, yet the windows look out on a quiet street that runs along the river. In the evenings we could have the windows open and were not disturbed by noise. The apartment itself was perfect for us 2 (mother and teen daughter), we had plenty of room for our things, and space was well equipped with everything we could possibly need! I thought we would be getting groceries and cooking but was not prepared for the bountiful amazing and affordable food options everywhere! There is even a washer in the space so if you pack light, you have a chance to wash your clothing. Communication was excellent, beginning to end. Felt very safe and secure with a multiple-locked building. Again, I could not have wished for anything more on our first trip, and hopefully we will go back soon and are able to stay again! One week in Paris is not enough! If you are weighing your options on where to stay in Paris, and after having visited all around the city, Ile St. Louis and Marie & Elena's aparment is the most perfect!
