Location, location, location. There isn't a better one in Paris. Île Saint-Louis is a small island in the river Seine - an oasis from the rush of the city. It's almost as if someone dropped a small French village into the center of Paris. The apartment is centrally located to everything, yet quiet and tranquil. Much of what you'll want to see in Paris is a short walk away. Notre Dame is a 5 min stroll to Île de la Cité (the other island in the Seine connected by a bridge). The most popular areas on the Left Bank (Latin Quarter/Sorbonne and St Germain-dés-Près) or the Right Bank (the Marais, Louvre, and Bastille) are a 10-15 min walk away.
