Ile Saint Louis : Best Paris Location, a Fabulous Place

FRENCH TRUE EXPERIENCE!
Please note that this apartment is 5 nights min( 2 or 3 if there is a 'free spot' in the planning).

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. The apartment is in the second courtyard of the building so there is not a single noise from the street. It is very quiet and peaceful, great for getting over jetlag!
There are two door codes and a guardian so you are very safe.

The apartment is 80 square meters and spread over three levels the bottom being in the basement with windows.

The ground floor is the entrance into the apartment with the kitchen and living room. Then above the living room is a mezzanine bedroom with window looking onto the courtyard and below the living room there is another bedroom and bathroom with separate toilet, and a gym corner (ELIPPTIQUE TRAKING AND VIBRO SHAPER ) with big dressing.There are basement level and have skylights to let in natural light and proper ventilation. The whole apartment is loft like in the sense that it is open plan but each bedroom has sufficient privacy.

It has a kitchen area with original tiles and a very high glass ceiling. There is a bar.The kitchen is new and fully equipped with everything you would need to cook a complete meal, plus a dishwasher, microwave/oven and electric elements.

The living room is cozy and has floor boards and original 400 year old exposed stone walls. There is a large three seater sofa , a television with Cable, wifi and a telephone which can be used to make calls to any landline, worldwide or USA cell phone for free.

There are two bedrooms, one is on a mezzanine floor above the living room which has a double bed, this has a window looking onto the courtyard. The stairs to climb to this are attic style and may not be suitable for elderly people or todlers. (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.

The courtyard has a bench, great for having a coffee outdoors, to smoke too if necessary but this appartment is NO SMOKING AREA. There is central heating plus very thick stone walls which ensure that the apartment is well insulated from the summer heat and winter time cold, and there is air conditioning.

Lovely Apartment

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 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.

Simply Perfect!!!

Our stay on Isle St Louis could not have been better! The location is perfectly situated to access all the primary sites; walking at least 5 miles daily was a great way to explore the City from this location. Le Marais is The Premier old City, with many quaint places to eat, shop and explore. We visited our bakery and market around the corner, everyday, making it Our Neighborhood. The VRBO apartment is beautiful, well-accommodated, and with beds that lulled us to sleep. Highly recommend this VRBO!!!

Fantastic Parisian Apartment!

We loved our time in Isabel's beautiful apartment. The location is perfect. Walking distance to so many fantastic restaurants, cafes, gelato, etc. The metro stop is conveniently located to the apartment which will take you anywhere in the city. Isabel's guide to the city was incredibly detailed and her recommendations were spot on from eating, going out, museums, shopping, private drivers, etc. It was the perfect Parisian getaway. Thank you and we hope to come back and stay again soon!

Great Paris location

We loved the apartment and location . Isabel gave us great dining recommendations and they were all an easy walk . Close to 2 metro stops and many sites. We enjoyed the island and walking along the Seine. It was a great spot for our family of 4. Our girls shared the room in the basement and we had the bedroom in the upper level . We didn’t have a problem with the stairs. Seemed very secure and nice and quite . She even had a bottle of wine waiting for us .

Terrible experience

The property seemed fine. However, the electricity went out and the owner was unresponsive and out of the country. This is an extremely dangerous property to navigate in the dark. We had to stay at a hotel. The owner never indicated before our arrival that there were electrical problems at the property or we would not have rented it. The owner was extremely rude in her response, took no responsibility, and didn't refund us anything. We didn't return to the property and ended up staying at a hotel the entire time we were in Paris. I would not recommend staying here.

Young Family in Paris

Our family had a wonderful stay at Isabel's beautiful apartment! The location is unbeatable, the apartment is large (by Paris standards) and very tastefully decorated. Our children were thrilled with the transparent floors (a very clever way to get light into all rooms of an old character building). We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Isabel was a pleasure to work with. She was very accommodating when we chose to extend our stay and PayPal was being difficult. She was absolutely lovely. I would recommend this apartment for adults or families with children over 6. The staircases may not be appropriate for small children or people with mobility issues. Also, if you're over 6 feet tall, you may find the ceiling height a little low in some places. But then you'd be missing out on an absolutely amazing place! We will be recommending it to our friends travelling to Paris - the apartment made our stay much more enjoyable than any hotel could. The character of the apartment, the lovely neighbourhood and Isabel's wonderful suggestions were perfect.

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

Special spot.

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!

Fantastic location.

The location is absolutely perfect and the hostess is wonderful with a great personal touch and loads of helpful information. She was happy to help arrange airport transport. The apartment itself is charming and quirky. The bottom floor includes two twin beds, the bathroom, shower, a washing machine, closet and salon. In hot weather, this is definitely cooler than the rest of the apartment. It is reached by a spiral iron staircase that is very aesthetically pleasing, but can be challenging. The main floor includes the entryway, kitchen, and a living room. Above the living room is a loft sleeping area with a queen bed. The loft has a straight but narrow gauge stair to it. The unit does have a ceiling fan in the kitchen, the windows do open and has a split air conditioner. During the week we stayed with temperatures in the high 80s Fahrenheit, it was still pretty hot and humid in the apartment, it may take some acclimitizion. There is creative and effective use of mirrors and glass floor panels to get natural light into the entire apartment. The apartment is incredibly quiet and fully equipped. You are literally only minutes from bars, restaurants, the Sorbonne, Notre Damn, the Marais and the Seine itself. We mainly got around by walking and bike share and used cabs on a couple of rainy days. Hint, the G7 cabs are allowed to use the bike lanes which make them significantly faster than Uber. Overall a great week in Paris, made great by a turnkey VRBO perfectly situated.

Superb

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.

Quirky apartment on three levels with courtyard. Interior gets light from lots of glass. Efficient and lovely small kitchen with nice amenities, two TVs if you care to watch. Amazing location on the Ile St. Louis, close to Notre Dame, the bridge to the Marais on one side and Tour D'Argent and the left bank on the other.

Unique Apartment in the Heart of Paris

This unique apartment is perfectly located making walking the entire city possible for active people. The owner is quite accommodating yet the language difference made understanding one another difficult for checking in. Having a coded lock or key box would be preferable. The apartment is located in such a way that the only bathroom is in the basement and the user of the upstairs bedroom will traverse two sets of small, odd stairs to get up and down. In the middle of the night this can be difficult without disturbing guests of the basement bedroom. The shower opens to a salon area but has glass doors, making it odd for anyone showering. The glass in the upstairs floor limits privacy, too, but is truly the only way to get appropriate light to the lower floor.

About the host

Hosted by Fargeot John and Isabel

Host profile image
I'm a dance instructor, and have been living in the area since 13 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 250€. 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, however the apartment comes with a couple of bottles of mineral water, milk tea and coffee.
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 30 Euros a day.
