This was a wonderful experience. The host, Ghislaine, was fantastic about communicating with me about instructions and helpful guidance. Her flat was perfect for me. It was super clean, and it is in a beautiful part of Paris with extremely easy access to public transit and local shops and many sights of interest. I would stay at her flat again in a heartbeat.
The host never sent anyone to meet us. In an email she said to pick up keys in a nearby location (it was actually 15 minutes away and my wife waited in the street with our luggage for 30 minutes while I walked to get the keys) she also said to put nothing in the toilet and not flush it at night because it makes so much noise (this would have been helpful to know prior to booking). When we entered the building we found that the elevator had been out of service since September 5 and would be out for some time which necessitated walking up 5 flights of stairs with our luggage (if she had notified us of this we would have cancelled). At 2 am the first night my wife fell down the very steep and unsafe ladder stairs to a loft where the only bed was located (she was on the way to the bathroom) and had to be transported in an ambulance to the hospital and was diagnosed with four broken ribs. As we were no longer able to use the apartment (5 floors with no elevator and my wife barely able to walk) we vacated the apartment that morning. I wrote the host explaining the situation and requested a refund for the two days not used but never heard back from her. It was a terrible experience..
Great location, great walks to some of the city’s iconic sites. The apartment is a bit small with a futon bed up a steep staircase. Need to be a bit nimble. But comfortable and cozy with great views of the R bank.
Lovely setting. Avoid hustle and bustle and enjoy Wonderful resultants, shops within easy walking distance. Ground floor access also a big plus. Car parking was an easy walk.
Stay here and feel like a true Parisian!
I was fortunate to stay in this cozy flat from Sept 10 to 23. It was a time of moderate temperatures so I never turned on heating or cooling, and I never cooked but the kitchen is complete with everything you might need. I did you the handy combined washer dryer with good success having found an online users manual.
The flat is easy walking distance from a nearby metro station so that of course takes you everywhere. A couple times I used UBER and pickup was fast.
This flat is for those who are strong and steady on stairs, no question. And the stairs of the one flight from the lift to the apartment are worn smooth and slightly downward tilting on some steps. In my opinion, the building should replace them as a safety issue. The automatic evening light on that final floor needs attention.
The stay was comfortable and very quiet with friendly encounters of other occupants.
Restaurants on Isle de St. Louis are plentiful and range from modest to elegant. I ate three times on the island and was happy each time. Two Boulanger are on the island so your baguette's will be morning fresh…
Would stay here again as I am still spry on stairs and lifting heavy luggage up and down narrow places/stairs. And location location location plus all conveniences of a home!
We had a lovely time staying at this property on the Ile St Louis, right at the heart of the city. The apartment is well-maintained and sustains a Bohemian air, but with all the comforts included. The host is great, very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended.
Having had a hard time finding reasonable lodging for a last minute biz trip, I turned to VRBO. Ste louis is a wonderful spot right in central Paris. This flat is like a tree house overlooking the Seine. Thoroughly enjoyed preparing simple meals with items bought at the various shops. But there are excellent restaurants steps away plus the metro for commutes. Be sure to note what others wrote about stair access and the sleeping loft. Some agility required. Otherwise, clean quiet and comfortable.
I only stayed a few days but will stay again. The location is incredible, the view is great. Place is clean and easy to get to. Based on reviews I had expected issues picking up the keys and the stairs to the loft but it was easy to get the keys and used the handrail to get to the loft and it was no issues at all. I really enjoyed my stay and will again soon
Fantastic location and view on Paris’s rooftops and landmarks (Seine, Sacré Cœur, Centre Pompidou, etc.) Ghislaine, the owner, is a very friendly and communicative owner. Picking up the keys at a close by mini mart a few blocks away was a little cumbersome after a long trip but it was a short 10 minute walk away from the flat.
This place was perfect for us, we loved it. Heads up: there will be a few steps to climb from the elevator to the last floor, and from the living space to the bed upstairs. I highly recommend this rental, and would go back in a heartbeat.

Paris apartment
Location and convenience are really good. Very small. Older people should be careful. Shower is at least 14” off the floor, and stairs to the tiny loft are very tricky. Danger of slipping and falling could be of concern. Bed is actually just a thin mattress on the floor of the loft. Not comfortable. But, you normally would not be spending very much time there anyway.
All reviews previously captured the accommodations well, this is clearly a much loved apartment that serves as a rental, throw open the windows overlooking the Seine, listen to the chatter and music float in - enjoy fromage, bread and wine, or prepare quick breakfasts before heading out for the day.
Easy access to small groceries, patisseries, brasseries and the bustle of the desirable location.
Communication was easy, every question answered and we cannot wait to return to live like a local Parisian in this quiet building.
Bed was comfortable and steps to the loft were sturdy and able to be easily navigated forwards and backwards.
Metro lines were super accessible and got us walking or using public transportation easily to all parts of Paris.
The apartment was in a good location next to the river. It had everything we needed. We had to pick up the key about a half mile from the flat which was difficult because we arrived at night and it was raining. Other than that, we liked our stay here.
Die Lage der Wohnung ist einfach unglaublich.
Direkt auf der Ile Saint Louis gelegen schaut man morgen schon beim Kaffeetrinken auf die Sein.
Man ist so mittendrin im Zentrum von Paris, besser geht es nicht.
Gegenüber der Wohnung, direkt auf der anderen Seite der Seine, gibt es einen netten Ausschank, wo man Abends draußen in der Sonne sitzen und etwas trinken kann. Es ist eine wirklich nette und friedliche Stimmung dort.
Die Wohnung selbst ist wirklich nett eingerichtet, so als wäre man ein Student/Studentin für Literatur oder Kunst an der Sorbonne. Wir fanden es sehr romantisch. Alles was man braucht ist vorhanden.
Es gibt einen Carrefour Express (einen kleinen Supermarkt, indem man aber alles bekommt was man braucht) gleich um die Ecke noch auf der Insel.
Ghislain, die Gastgeberin, hat uns wirklich gut unterstützt und war immer via Email ansprechbar.
Leider ist die Wozhnung im nächsten Jahr zu Pfingsten nicht mehr verfügbar, da wir sie wieder gebucht haben. =)
Cute city apartment in great location within walking distance of all the key sights, along with transit nearby if you get tired of walking. Easy access to airport as well from St Michel Norte Dame station which is a ten minute walk away. Comfortable accommodations but I wouldn’t recommend for mobility impaired persons, since the stairs are steep to the bedroom and the elevator is too small to use with luggage. Awesome views from windows. Our host was very communicative and accommodating with our late check in.
Excellent property centrally located on Isle St. Louis - blocks to Marais, St. Germain, and Pont Marie metro station. Top floor studio apartment (one flight of stairs above elevator) with loft sleeping area (with ladder stairs) and north views over the Seine. Had difficulty accessing apartment, but landlord immediately answered email and came to let us in. Lovely getaway location for two!
As described ,it is a studio on Ile St Louis with a spectacular view of the Seine ..What we would have appreciated is a better description of the sleeping quarters .The half stairs are more like a ladder and must be negotiated very slowly and deliberately .They must be backed down much like a galley stairway in a boat .No one over 50 should not be advised that the final stairway is quite windy and also should be slowly approached ,especially with luggage .The owner has not removed hundred and hundred of books which take up the coffee table and the floor as well as the total bookcase and the stairs leading to the bed .It is comprised of two mattresses on the floor with no bed frame .Also there is no headroom over the bed to stand .The lifts space has 30percent standing area .My partner at six feet one could only stand up in the corridor .The entire loft is sloping steep roofs .The owner left no space for any personal effects .The makeup dresser in the loft was filled with her personal effects .Also the desk downstairs ,the tables and the side tables are filled with tchotchkes ,which I am sure have personal meaning but are merely dust collectors and make one feel you are invading her space .The final problem we met as renters was the fact one ic above her nejghbors bedroom .When we arrived we were requested not to flush a toilet in the evening.We abided by the rules and never flushed from 10 pm till 8 am .The toilet is not connected to the city sewerage but runs by a very large motor that fend loudly .Despite this ,The toilet backless up and the motor went kaput .The owner implied we threw something other than toilet paper to cause this .we certainly did not .As a health care professional and an architect we would never throw at object including paper towels . Into the toilet .The window panes are not sound proof enough to shield from the sirens from those vehicleswho were driving on the Seine .
We found the location on old St Louis to be reflect for our stay. We walked to most places.
Ghisaline was most helpful and the apartment was comfortable
