190/191 Gorgeous Island Twins! Two Luxury 2 Bedroom Apartments  

Description from the manager

Please inquire for Availability. Availability calendars may not be accurate.

These are two separate apartments, each having two bedrooms, which can be rented separately or combined to accommodate up to 10 people. They are truly just beautiful and in such a perfect location!The owner of these flats love Paris and it shows! They have taken much care to provide some lucky guests with beautifully designed spaces with all the amenities you could desire. And in such a desirable quality area of central Paris....

The high-end Ile St. Louis area is right behind Notre Dame Cathedral and is ideally central and best positioned to provide you... easy and instant access to so many attractions and conveniences. Easy to locate on any map, Ile St. Louis is one of the two small islands right in the heart of Paris. Several bridges connect you to either the right or left banks of the Seine, so that you are just a few minutes stroll to such famed places like St. Michel, Hotel de Ville and Chatelet, St. Germain and the Latin Quarter and of course, the other island itself- Il de la Cite, where you will find Notre Dame Cathedral, St. Chapelle Church, etc. Just outside your door are many small cafes. Crepe stands and restaurants to choose from, plus specialty shopping and all food provisions like bakeries, cheese shops and "fresh grocers", if you care to avail yourself of the apartments' splendid kitchen, and of course the most famous ice cream shops in France, maybe in Europe, The Berthillon stores.

Both of these homes have beautiful decorations as the photographs here will confirm, and are located on a small quiet side street just off of the Seine River itself. As so much of this island's traffic is mostly pedestrian, you can be assured of a relaxing and tranquil stay in this quiet setting. It also has a great advantage of having lots of sunlight flood into the apartments, as the street is not so narrow as most others in this area.

The two flats are identical in size, each of 50 m 2 (@530 ft 2 each). They are located on the first and second European floors- directly above and below each other but they are not interconnected. Access to each apartment is via the common stairwell of the building, no elevator. The building itself is very handsome and dates back to the 19 th century, as this is amongst the oldest areas of Paris. The city was actually founded on these islands which offered protection from any invading tribes due to the surrounding river. There is excellent security for the building; although most of Paris is very safe.

The property owner has spent several years personally overseeing the renovations of these prime properties, returning several years in a row as the two were reconstructed in succession. Highlighted with designer touches throughout, she carefully included many modern amenities as well, to ensure first class comfort and style.Read more

  Fantastic Option!!

  Left on 06/27/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  We rented both properties. #191 is on the 3rd floor (2nd Paris standard), sleeps 4, has 1.5 bathrooms, and is a little more up to date than other apartment . #190 (2nd floor) can handle 6 due to the fold out couch, but I would limit it to kids only. We had 2 adults and 2 teenage girls in both apartments (total of 8) and it worked out great!
  
  Fantastic location for the price - able to walk everywhere very easily. We got bread, cheese, and wine daily after our adventures.
  Making the reservation was very easy and stress-free.
  Meeting the manager onsite for the keys was simple plus she aided us in making sure out wifi connected to our devices prior to her departure.
  
  Only concerns
  1 - street noise (people walking the island at all hours). We were able to deal with it, but I could see some people being unhappy with it.
  2 - no air conditioning. We found the breeze to be great when you opened the windows (giving you street noise), but it was only getting into the 70s during our stay. If gotten to 90s (as it can), I could see this would have been an issue.
  
  Didn't want to leave!!

  Paris in December

  Left on 06/02/2009 for a stay in December 2008
  
  

  The apartment was terrific, perfect location about 200 meters from Notre Dame. It was clean, real nice furnishings, and all the appliances/ kitchen ware one could need. We were met at the apartment with no delay and provided the key and tour. We will defintely stay at these apartments again and forget the hotels.

  Perfect location across from Notre Dame. Bakery, grocery, cafes all close. Quiet, quaint, and charming apartment. Modern kitchen and laundry. 100 yards from the Seine. Charming neighborhood. Two teenage boys loved it. Wife was ecstatic with the apartment.
