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.

Since my post about encouraging visitors to Paris to consider staying over a local shop, I have had a number of requests for suggestions for apartments like this and specifically the apartment over the featured shop – Bernard Lefranc’s fromagerie on rue St Louis en l’Ile. This apartment is for rent through ParisApartments by Numbers and is a lovely studio known as LOUIS02. It is on the third floor of a traditional Ile St Louis building, at the foot , or as the French would say “au pied”, of which Mr Lefranc has his fromagerie. Mme Martin’s boulangerie (photo in post beneath Lefranc’s) is right next door.
