LOUIS02 – rue saint Louis en l’Ile, Ile Saint Louis, 75004 Paris

RENT THIS APARTMENT

Guest Comments

I spent most of June and July in LOUIS02 with a friend so we got to know it well – my favourite thing about it ? – its wonderful location. We were close to everything. A short walk would take us to Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, the Luxembourg Gardens and many other places. A main metro and RER station close by also allowed us to be at Montmartre in 20 minutes. 

The island is absolutely gorgeous and quaint. You feel like you are in your own little French village while in the centre of the most amazing capital in the world. You get to experience the life of a true Parisian when going to buy your baguette in Madame Martin’s bakery just below the apartment, or your cheese from the brothers in the fromagerie.

The apartment itself is well furnished and everything has been laid out to make maximum use of the space. Although we were wary of the fact that the bed is actually a sofa bed, it was as comfortable as any proper bed I have slept in. 

The only things we had a problem with were the frying pan that was too large for the stove and so could not be used, and the wardrobe doors that wouldn’t close properly. However we notified the owner of this and he replaced the pan and sent someone in to fix the doors.

You wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else other than in this apartment in this location – we will be booking with Parisbynumbers again.

Fantastic apartment in a great location. The agency was easy to deal with and everyone was very helpful.

Basic but very serviceable apartment with a perfect location. Far better value than a hotel room. Lovely view of Saint-Louis en l’Ile church out the window. Great service from SCI PA Location–everything was smooth, easy, and exactly as described. Thanks for a very pleasant stay!

Very good apartment and an excellent localization. We loved our days there and we certainly intend to use your services again when we came back to France. Thanks for everything.

We really  enjoyed our stay in this studio apartment in the Ile St. Louis.  It was perfect for our needs, and such a pleasure to be able to walk out the door into such a lovely environment and to be within minutes of the Marais.  It is a remarkably peaceful place to be in the heart of such a big and busy city. It was so handy to have such a variety of restaurants on the doorstep, a nice and friendly general stores-type shop a few minutes away, as well as boulangeries, cafes and even a post office just around the corner. We do hope to be able to go back there some time again in the future.

Thanks to Paris Apartments by numbers and Liam for accommodating our last minute booking.

Really enjoyed my days here! above a cheese shop and a pastry shop, across the street from Bertillon ice cream. it is very sunny and good sized for a studio, and you can hear the church bell from the old church down the street.
Owner is very accommodating.

We really enjoyed staying in this apartment – just the best that two young people would wish to have. There is all one may need inside and outside the apartment. There is a smell of history everywhere. This place is 2 min walk from where Esmeralda used to dance… St.Louis en Ile is like a smooth water in the ocean of Paris – quite and peaceful.

Special Thanks to Fabien – a very pleasant young man, who welcomed us and helped to accommodate smoothly enough.

We had a wonderful time in this apartment! It offered us a chance to get together with our kids living in Europe, and was just perfect. The neighborhood was lovely, and the view from the balcony a real treat. Every amenity we needed was provided, and we are sure to tell others about this great week.
Thank you! The Turners in Denver, Colorado

We stayed in this apartment for two weeks with two young children. The apartment was great. Beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower from the terrace and overall a very pretty Parisian place. Beds are very comfortable. Nice bathrooms (3) and a pretty big, well-equipped kitchen. The size of the place is quite large. The location is great too. SCI PA Location was very good also. They were very helpful when we arrived and answered many questions we had. We definitely recommend them and CHAMPS07  for a stay.

Posted by: Susan Ellis | 10 September 2010 at 05:43

This apartment was fantastic. Bigger and better than indicated in the photos. Beds were comfy and bathrooms clean. We would definitely book itagain. The location was fabulous, close to the metro and walking distance to many attractions. The view of the tower was a bonus.
The service from was great. It was nice to be met at the apartment and have many things explained to us. Very helpful..We highly recommend this service and the apartment.
Many thanks,
Jaccy, Sydney, Australia.

Le Trumilou – a reliable family bistrot near Notre Dame, Ile St Louis and Hotel de Ville

Just across the Pont Louis-Philippe from Ile St Louis and not far from Notre dame and Hotel  de Ville is one of those restaurants I return to when I can’t decide where to go. You know what I mean – you know the menu inside out but you go back because you can rely on the food and the ambiance. Le Trumilou is just one of those places. It serves traditional French cuisine including their famous house speciality of canard aux pruneaux, which I have had many times. Everything is good here, particularly the steak and chips (great, great chips!) and the soup which comes out in a big dish and a ladle for you to help yourself.

The food is plentiful, tasty and not overpriced. Neither is the wine menu. The waiters are pleasant and the owner and his family are welcoming. Don’t be put off by the relatively bare corridoor bar through which he takes you to the small but cozy main dining room. There is a second dining room which is used for small groups and families. Irish friends of mine who lived in Paris for a few years regularly brought their wider family there, kids included, for special occassions.  Apparently Le Trumilou has been in business since 1930!

We stayed at 16 rue Chanionesse for 5 nights in may, 2011. the location of the apartment is superb- within a few minutes you can find yourself in the latin quarter or alternatively marais if you turn the other way. close to st michael’s station its possible to get to any part of Paris or even go straight to Versailles for the day. in the evenings when the tourists clear out its lovely to stroll around Notre Dame and its gardens as the bells toll.
This is relatively small apartment is perfect for 2 people. throughout the day the rooms are sunny and light-filled. the bathroom and kitchen are compact but well equipped.

Liam, This was our second stay at no 16. and again we found it very suitable for what we wanted. The location could not be bettered and the accommodation was in the best of order. Myles

Posted by: Myles O’ Connor | 26 April 2010 at 12:23

We just had a great few days in Paris staying in NOTRE01. Can’t really think of a better location with Notre Dame and Ile St. Louis literally on your doorstep, yet you are in a quiet and peaceful apartment. Approached through lovely old doors into a courtyard and up just one short flight of stairs the apartment is ideal for two people with all mod cons yet a very Parisien feel. Great  restaurants and little shops on Ile St. Louis and Ile de la Cite, you could easily just spend your entire trip on these islands alone.

Highly recommended, we will be back. Philip

HI Liam…we had a wonderful time in paris..both loved the apartment NOTRE01 …its  situation, its spaciousness and its lovely sense of Paris. I hope that when Ireturn that this same apartment might be available.

As always it was a pleasure to deal with Paris Apartments by Numbers and Joel was very helpful.

Many thanks, Ray

Dear Liam, We greatly enjoyed staying on rue  Chanoinesse, location is ideal – at least for our purposes - and the studio is remarkably quiet and has all the things one could need for comfort. Protected by the police next door, with a grocery open late at night under your nose, a great restaurant (Au Vieux Paris) in the same block, an historical wine cave around the corner and the best icecream in Paris just across the bridge in Ile St. Louis. Not to mention St. Germain on one side and the Marais on the other, all at walking distance.

Best, Edna and Dan

I stayed at the Paris Apartments by Numbers apartment NOTRE01 for a few nights earlier this year, while on a business trip to Paris.  I really enjoyed my stay there for several reasons.  First of all, the location was excellent, as it meant I could walk to all the beautiful places nearby (Notre Dame, l’Ile de France, Le Marais etc.), and also get to business meetings with little hassle.  Secondly, the flat itself was ideally equipped for a single person or couple wishing to spend at least a few nights in Paris.  The apartment was very comfortable, and the building itself impressive.  Finally, the best part for me is being able to go to the local shops and buy in the wonderful food at the local delicatessens.

Enjoy your stay there !  Cliona

I left my suit behind in NOTRE01. Thanks a million Liam for getting it back for me. I’m really delighted and impressed. Simonetta

I stayed at the Rue Chanoinesse apartment from June 22 til July 3 2010 during a business trip. I foud the location spectacular, close to the main touristic attractions and easy to access by transit. The apartment itself is in good shape with all necessary ammenities. Highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed at NOTRE01 for a week in July 2010. The apartment was great: very well located (really really close to the Notre Dame), quiet, clean, safe (police station right next door) and charming. It had everything we needed, space, huge windows (= a lot of beautiful light coming in), great shower, comfortable bed and fully equipped kitchen. We had a small inconvenient with the internet connection but it was quickly solved by Vesna and Liam (however, it only worked with one computer at a time). It can get a bit warm inside during the day, but the provided fan did a reasonably good job. 4 out of 5.  Their taxi partner was really professional: on time and very polite. I do recommend this apartment and Parisbynumbers!

Posted by: Patricia | 31 July 2010 at 10:34

We stayed in the flat during the last week of May. It was a perfect locale. Easy to get to EVERYTHING and very quiet. THe bed was very comfortable and had many pleasant nights sleep. All in all, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Oh, and you get to listen to the bells of Notre Dame!!!!

Posted by: Peter | 16 June 2010 at 17:25

We stayed in the apartment over easter weekend. It proved to be a welcome retreat from the crowds around Notre Dame. Beautifully central, so we walked all the time, easy to get to all the main haunts. The apartment met all our needs. Good to have a full oven as we cooked for ourselves most of the time. A very peaceful, light and airy place, nicely done out.
The company PA Location was efficient and responsive, providing excellent orientation and introduction on arrival.

Posted by: m.hughes | 22 May 2010 at 00:02

NOTRE01 was perfect for what we wanted. Very central, lots of character but clean and with all the basics needed for a week’s stay. We hope to use it and Paris Apartments by Numbers again, and thanks Liam for your help in sorting out the extra days! Myles

Posted by: Myles O’ Connor | 08 May 2010 at 14:30

We stayed for 10 days in Paris at november 2009 and Chanoi 16 apartment is perfect for all. The apartment is renovated and the local is a few steps from Notre Dame. We hope to come back another times and to stay at NOTRE01.

Posted by: Lucio Miranda and Sônia Miranda | 12 January 2010 at 13:15

The location of this apartment was perfect for us, on a quiet street, yet in the centre of Paris and very near Notre Dame Cathedral; (we could hear the bells). We could walk almost everywhere: the Louvre and Cluny museums, and the Marais district. Exploring the two islands, Île de la Cité and Île St. Louis, provided endless interest. At a pre-arranged arrival time, we were met by a very pleasant young woman who gave us a thorough orientation to the apartment and its amenities. The apartment itself, located just up a very short flight of stairs, was a pleasant surprise, as it had been recently renovated, was sparkling clean, and had all of the conveniences and appliances that one would hope to find in a well-equipped apartment. Three large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the small courtyard provided a light and airy feel to this compact studio apartment. We particularly appreciated the lack of street noise and privacy, nor could we hear any noise from the apartments in the same building. A small convenience store just next door at street-level supplied all of our basic needs. We would certainly like to stay here again on our next trip to Paris.

Loved it! Felt like a real “parisis”. Perfect location, quiet, safe, nice IKEA decoration. Really worth the price. The only thing missing is a view of Paris, but for that there are about one zilion places in the city.

We did a last minute trip to Paris in April 2011 and had four days to find an apartment. I had never used this agency and frankly was a little sceptical. Gladly, I was put at ease upon our arrival. Our last minute booking was no problem and Eric met us promptly to show us the flat with a big smile. This is a perfect rental for a family of three and a great bay window to watch Paris life go by. The pictures are true to form and the location was second to none. The only annoyance we could find was the WiFi is transient at best. And if that’s the worst we could find you know it is pretty good.

Posted by: Brett | 15 April 2011 at 15:21

We stayed in LOUIS04 for a week at the end of January 2011. It was perfect for 2 people, and the location was just the best. We wanted to be on Ile St Louis, and it was as magic as we hoped, and convenient to everything. The apartment with the view of the Seine was more than we could wish for.

The apartment size was great – it’s small but we never felt cramped, and all the amenities worked fine. We had been warned about the unreliable internet, but both wireless and cable worked perfectly for us. Our only problem was the shower – it doesn’t fit the bracket, obviously never has and the elastic band is very temperamental.

But that was our only problem, Eric was so helpful explaining the apartment on our arrival, and arranging for us to leave our luggage there early while the apartment was cleaned from the previous people. The heating was very efficient, bathroom included, during extremely cold weather.

We found the agency very easy to use, very helpful and reliable, and would certainly book with them again, and recommend them to others.

Liam, Just wanted to say thank you for everything – arrangements all worked out perfectly without any hitches whatsoever and everyone we dealt with were extremely friendly and helpful. A fantastic location for visitors to the city. I will be passing on your contact details to any friends planning a visit and hope to be back to Paris Apartments by Numbers myself in the spring. Kind regards, Susan.

We had an absolutely lovely week in Paris, staying at no.4 Quai d’Orleans. The apartment was certainly spacious enough for both of us, and the view on to the Seine was beautiful. The decor was lovely, and we felt very much at home. Perfectly located for a quiet walk around the island at night after a dinner, and a sorbet from Berthillon. The surrounding area was full of lovely restaurants: Mon Vieil Ami, L’Ilot Vache, Le Tournebievre were among our favourites.

Eric was extremely friendly, and gave us a very thorough tour of the apartment. It was great to have access to the shared ironing/washing facilities too.

This was a really special holiday for us, one that we’ll remember for a long time, and this apartment was the perfect place for us to stay.

Posted by: Jenny Munro | 05 November 2010 at 20:44

We spent a wonderful week in this apt. Very comfortable and a great big tub in the bathroom. Quiet and beautiful with a wonderful view and within walking distance or subway of all major inner city sights. We loved it!

Rugby tickets are cheaper in Paris!

I took this photo in a Metro station a few weeks ago to prove to my Irish friends that going to watch top rugby matches in Paris is much more affordable than in Dublin – tickets from €5!
