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 sq meters (approximately
530 sq ft 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
19th 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.
| The apartments share many of the same features: |
-
Each has a Queen size bed in master bedroom
-
Each second bedroom (which separates from the rest of the apartment
by a sliding door) has a wooden trundle type bed that makes two twin sized beds.
In this trundle unit, one twin is stored underneath the other and
can be rolled out from the higher one and then placed anywhere in
the room. The roll out is lower to the ground than the higher one
(see photo).
- Each has a full kitchen (see below for details)
- Each has a full bathroom with separate WC in a different room
- Each has a dining table next to the open kitchen
|
| Some differences: |
| |
ID #190: First floor sleeps two more people as it has a pullout sofa bed in
living room. |
| |
ID #191: Second floor, 1½ bathrooms: Has a WC in the
main bathroom and another WC and sink in a separate room. |
More complete description of facilities and amenities
common to each of the apartments:
BEDROOMS:
Each flat has a Queen size bed in the master bedroom, which sleeps two
adults. In the second bedroom, which during the day is open to the
living room for more space, there is also a trundle unit composed of 2 individual twin size beds
(one stored under the other during the day), which can easily be pulled
out and may be rolled around with ease. These can be pushed close
together, but do not actually form a single bed as one is lower than
the other. The master bedroom has a closet, including room for hanging
clothes.
KITCHENS:
Each kitchen has a full oven and stove and separate microwave. There is also a dishwasher.
There is plenty of counter space with built-in appliances and
color-coordinated designs throughout. The kitchens are well stocked
with plenty of cookware and crockery/utensils for the stated

BATHROOMS:
The bathroom is of ample size, with a large shower (attached to wall)
and has a small window. The WC is located in a separate room for easy

There is also a small sink with hot/cold water located in the small
room housing the WC.

We loved the apartment and plan to return. We hope the price
doesn't increase much because we thought the value was excellent.
FYI - your staff at VIP was far and away better (more friendly,
responsive, etc.) than the other services we looked into before
VIP. We actually were ready to rent a place through a different
service but they were completely unresponsive and didn't show an
appreciation for our timing (we were traveling within 2 weeks of
renting) and thus we backed out after finding VIP.
Gregory was fantastic. He made us feel welcome and was incredibly
nice and accessible. From our perspective, he is a perfect
property manager in Paris.
