Ghislaine is the sweetest - she greeted me, showed me everything I needed in the apartment! The apartment is in a wonderful location and I liked looking down upon the Seine from the 6th floor windows. There is a grocery store a couple blocks away, a pharmacy, ice cream shops, restaurants, etc........all right there! As mentioned by other reviewers, the apartment is on the 6th floor (U.S.) - the elevator goes to the 5th floor U.S. and then there is one flight of stairs. These buildings on Ile St. Louis were built in the 1700s, so much has been retrofitted. The bed - VERY COMFY! - is in the loft, and the stairs are wooden, so you do have to have some agility. There is a railing only on one side. The apartment itself is comfy and cozy and very, very secure and safe! Ghislaine has put a lot of thought and effort into the decor. The shower was wonderful, and the kitchen was adequately stocked. I truly enjoyed meeting Ghislaine and my week-long stay in her apartment! Merci beaucoup, Ghislaine!
