Perfect apartment in wonderful Paris
Submitted: May 21, 2012
Stayed: May 2012
My family of four (me, my husband and two daughters ages 22 and 18) stayed in this apartment for five nights last week (May 14 - May 19). Our stay was perfect. The apartment is clean, very well maintained and looks just as it does in the pictures above. The bed in the bedroom is super comfortable and provided a great place to rest after our long days sightseeing. The upstairs loft is a perfect sleep hideaway for, I would say, kids starting around age 8 all the way up to people in their late 20's or early 30's. The bathroom is tiny but very well appointed. I did not use the kitchen for more than keeping a cold wine bottle and some cheese and chocolate in the refrigerator, but found that it was very well stocked with all of the essentials. Daniel, the owner, responded quickly and informatively to every correspondence from me before our stay. Everything was exactly as he had promised in his confirmations to us. Alla, the property manager, was very good and very cheerful in her brief dealings with us. My only critique/recommendation would be that the towels need to be replaced soon since they are getting quite worn/dingy. The apartment is well situated on Ile St, Louis, within easy walking distance to Ile de la Cite (Notre Dame, Saint-Chapelle), the Latin Quarter, the Marais area, the Louvre. There are two metro stops very close by, which will get you wherever else you want to go. There is an excellent boulangerie a block or so away on Rue St. Louis, and a cheese shop and a wine shop and a grocer. Berthillon, the famous ice cream shop is less than a block away. Amorino, the excellent gelato store is directly across the street. There are many excellent restaurants close by. I really can't say enough about this flat. After a disappointing rental experience in London in the days before we reached Paris, this apartment exceeded our expectations in every way. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to any of my friends. I can't wait to go back to Paris, and when we go back, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Thanks, Daniel & Alla, for an amazing stay!!
