Stay in the heart of Paris, This apartment is on the very chic and desirable Ile Saint-Louis, on the river Seine and next to Ile de la Cité and Notre-Dame. It is the most beautiful and central location in Paris. Ile Saint-Louis is an upscale neighborhood, one of the most prestigious in Paris, where you have quirky shops and restaurants, bakeries, food stores and clothes stores. You can walk everywhere from here; to museums including the Louvre and Musee D’Orsay, Pompidou Centre and Palais Royal. You are a quick stroll from the Marais, place des Vosges, Jardin Tuileries, Concorde and Champs Elysées. On the other side of Ile Saint Louis you have the Latin Quarter, Jardins du Luxembourg and Saint-Germain des Prés just a leisurely stroll away. There is a boat stop about three minutes walk from the apartment and the famous bus tours can be caught by Notre Dame which is about a five minute walk away.
There is "les voies sur berge " now just across the Seine . This is great for children and teenagers as there are outdoor concerts and cafes . And it's a messing to have a walk on the river !!!
This charming apartment is a beautifully decorated in one of the 'Hotel Particulars” on Quai Bourbon of Ile Saint Louis on the ground floor. The location is undoubtly one of the most convenient and safest in Paris. There is hardly any need for public transport or taxis as the main attractions are within walking distance.
The apartment is situated in a building which is more than 400 years old yet has all modern conveniences.

(Please look at photo) The other is downstairs by the bathroom and contains two single beds which can be pushed together if desired and a large chest of drawers. This is not closed by a wall, but has heavy curtains which provide privacy and would be perfect for two young children or if you were to have guests . Please look at photos. It is so quite and peaceful, you will sleep the best you have ever slept!
The bathroom contains a shower and a separate toilet. There is a very large dressing and chest of drawers in the bathroom as well as a washing machine with dryer. There is also a hairdryer.

A wonderful apartment in a perfect location! A charming, quirky place. Very comfortable. Only caution is that the stairs works be treacherous for people with mobility challenges. But we loved it!
We loved our week in Paris. Location was spectacular, the host was so attentive and helpful, the place was clean, hip and unique. Layout worked for our family (harder for older folks due to stairs). Not a lot of space but plenty to hangout and relax after a full day exploring. Would definitely go back!

The apt location was great. The apartment was small but functional. The only problem was that the only bathroom was in what was a basement and if you stayed in the attic room on the 2nd floor, you had to go down 2 flights of very steep stairs to get there! Plus, be advised. The toilet closet is very small. I was traveling with 2 big guys who found itba bit

We stayed in this funky and comfortable apartment for 18 nights over the Olympics.
You couldn’t get a better location and Isabel was super helpful. You’ve just gotta love Ile St Louis.
Plenty of space and great for 4 people.
Superb stay

Isabel was a fabulous host. We loved this apartment, as it had enough space for me, my adult son and two teenage girls. The location was very close to the metro and there were great food places right by. We loved our stay!

It’s not true I tell you last time
My housekeeping check before it’s not smell moisture or tabacco
He confirms me it was ok
It’s was outside in the courtyard because my neighbor’s son who is here 4 times a year smoke one cigarette outside near the window
Sorry about that
Take care

The location could not be better - on the Seine, removed from crowds yet immediately adjacent to shops and public transportation. The apartment is in an 1654 building and has been architecturally beautifully renovated, preserving the old, and beautifully decorated. The description of the accommodation should be carefully read in terms of understanding how this unique space has been created. Highly recommended.

It’s was a pleasure to receive 3 generations the daughter the mother and a the grand mother
Tree beautiful wifes with a beautiful Energie !!!
This place is great. We were located in a great section of Paris where we felt safe and conveniently located to bakeries and restaurants. The host was great and communicated with us on details about the place and how to get in. The place was good for the four of us. I really enjoyed Paris and the place we stayed.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was fully stocked and the host was easy to communicate with. My daughters 10 and 12 loved the layout of the apartment especially the glass floors. Location was amazing and the neighborhood felt very safe. So much to do within walking distance.

We had a wonderful stay at Isabel's apt. We were there for 9 days, and Isabel could not have been more helpful. She was very knowledgeable about the island and suggested restaurants and areas we have never seen.
We had a wonderful stay, and everything was great!
We loved our stay here! Isabel was a wonderful host! She made sure we got checked in and left us a wonderful book to help us navigate the area. The location was amazing - central to everything and the most wonderful neighborhood to walk around. The apartment was perfect for us - 2 adults and 2 kids and was well furnished with everything we needed. We would love to stay here again!

We felt so spoiled staying on Ile St Louis in this beautiful apartment! The location can’t be beat! The apartment was great for 3 adults — would not recommend for young children as the stairs are steep and bathroom is on lower level.

About the host
Hosted by Fargeot John and Isabel
I'm a dance instructor, and have been living in the area since 20 years. I travel a lot for work and leisure, and I love hosting people in my little cocoon in Paris.
The Triplex was recently renovated, and more space was added for maximum comfort and convenience.
Why they chose this property
Because it's best place in paris to live or to spend vacation. It's so quiet and in the center of the town and for me it was dream to buy in 'ile saint louis'. And it's so charming and so 'frenchy' And to come for airports there is RER B St Michel exit 5 parvis notre Dame (less than an hour ) and 10 mn by foot for the appartment. It's very easy to go everywhere in paris after .
What makes this property unique
Why this apartment verses a hotel for a trip to Paris? Hotels in Paris are expensive and a 4 star hotel in Paris is closer to a 3 star hotel on international standards also with 60 million tourists pouring into Paris a year the service and quality is not always as one would expect. There are two hotels on the island, Le Lutece and Jeu de Paume where double rooms start at around 260 I have seen these rooms and they are quite small. Also eating out 3 times a day can become very expensive. By having a base where you can prepare and eat quick inexpensive meals (baguette and cheese!) can mean huge savings. There are three bakeries located within 30 seconds of the apartment and a supermarket 5 minutes walk away, plus an out door food market close by on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There is also a fromagery (cheese monger) on the island and one of Paris best butchers. Water is drinkable from the tap, THE QUAI THE SEINE ARE A MESSING!!
If you want the beds made-up and apartment cleaned every morning this can be arranged at an extra cost of 40 Euros a day.
