  • We had a wonderful week at this comfortable apartment which is in an ideal location to explore such an amazing city. Alina's apartment is located a stone's throw away from the beauty and exciting activities surrounding Notre Dame and the Seine River. At the same time, it is nestled into a quiet street, providing a much-needed sanctuary from the hustle-bustle after a busy day of exploring. Every morning and on many evenings, we gathered baked goods and a variety of wines and cheeses from neighborhood shops and spent time relaxing in the picturesque private garden off of the living room. This was our first experience with renting an apartment in Paris, rather than staying in a hotel. After our experience at Alina's place, we'll definitely skip the hotel on all future Parisian excursions!

  • Four sisters were out to live like Parisians and Alina's apartment exceeded all our expectations! Fantastic location, quiet street, steps away from wine shop, market, bolangerie, boucherie, and West & East Bank metros. Apartment is bigger than expected! Perfect retreat to come home to after a busy day exploring Paris. Kitchen is well stocked with everything one needs to fix a petite de'jener or gourmet meal. We used it everyday; no disappointments! And of course, the private garden courtyard was a special treat. We gathered there everyday to sample new wines and cheese, reflect on our daily adventures and of course rest our tired feet! Would I rent it again? "Absolutely!" Thank you Alina!

  • Arriving in Paris with 4 friends and entering such a beautiful home on a perfect street filled with a wine store, cheese shop, chocolate shop and charming toy store made our vacation perfect. The flat had every amenity you require including an outdoor patio area for your own private use. I highly reccommend this place - divine!~

  • The apartment provided an ideal setting and locale for a lovely visit to Paris. Our party of six was delighted with the accomodations and enjoyed a very comfortable stay there. It is so central to all the major sights and sectors of the city that we were able to walk to most of our desired destinations. It had all the conveniences, comforts, and essentials making the apartment a wonderful retreat from the sometimes hectic pace of the city streets and the narrow confines of a hotel room. I highly recommend this apartment to any one wishing to make their visit to Paris special.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Mr. Gomez, thank you for yourlovely note. We really appreciated your visit to Paris with your lovely family. Please come again!!!

  • Our stay in this lovely apartment on the Ile Saint- Louis was arranged at the last minute following a death in our family. The owner, Alina, could not have been more thoughtful or helpful. It is a testimony to the type of experience you will have here. Everything about this apartment was ideal, (location, lay-out, clean, large garden), but the most wonderful things about it were the neighbors and local shopkeepers. We made some wonderful friends. The apartment provided us exactly what we needed - a lovely respite in the middle of a very busy city. We will definitely be back again. Thank you, Alina, for everything.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dearest Linda. It was a joy to have you and your family during your visit to Paris. Making something happy out of it,despite the circumstances was a great lesson of life you gave to us. Thank you, and come back soon.

  • We stayed June 10-18, 2009. We are two couples in our 40s. We ABSOLUTELY recommend this property!!! The apartment is truly a RARE GEM right in the middle of Paris. You could not ask for a more perfect location. The private garden with large table made both breakfast and evenings special for us . . . lots of relaxation and good times after long days of sight-seeing. The apartment has everything you need and is spacious, clean, and well appointed. The location is perfect . . . step out the front door and you have quaint shopping and cafes . . a couple of short blocks and you're at the train to take you anywhere you want to go. If you plan to have meals "in" ...walk to the Monoprix or an open air market. The gourmet shops on the island (cheese, bakery, wine and butcher) are fabulous, too. The little grocery and the pharmacy on the Island are expensive, so better to walk to the Monoprix instead (Monoprix is like a Super Target in the U.S. .. groceries and household items). The owner, Alina, is gracious and nice to do business with. 5 out of 5 stars!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Darla, What a lovely comment!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and your graciousness. Having you as guest was also a privilege to us. Come back again. All the best to you and family. Alina

  • This apartment is a dream. You are in the midle of Paris and you feel relaxed like in the country. Everything is decorated with a lot of taste by a charming lady and once you are there you don't feel like leaving any more.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear John. Thank you for your lovely comment about your stay in our apartment. Having you here with your family was a great joy. Let's keep in touch, and please come again. Kind regards. Alina

  • We have stayed many places in Paris, but by far this is the best appartment in the best location in all of Paris. Not only are you in the center of Paris, but you are on perhaps the coolest little island in the world. You have a bakery almost next door, a market a minute away, some of the best ice cream in the world steps from your front door, a five minute walk to Notre Dame and you are right around the corner from the best Sushi restaurant in Paris. The appartment is huge, beautiful, and laid out perfectly. And the 1600 square foot garden is one of a kind for any appartment in Paris. My kids would relax out there many days and nights. This is the one and only place we will stay in Paris from now on.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Eric, I hope this message finds you and your family well. You did such a lovely comment. Thank you so much. I really appreciate. Hoping you had a wonderful time in Croatia with Laura and the children. All the best. Alina

  • When it comes to describe your stay in "68 rue Saint-Louis-en-l'île"; you feel that your words and opinions wont be aible to express such a beauty. To turn words like "exeptionnal" and "beautiful" into something more; so that it could really represent this place; you shall only require authors like Dumas, Chateubriand, Balzac or Apollinaire. This oasis stands in the heart of Paris like a diamond nestling in his case of velvet and silk. It's the perfect place to let yourself wonder, just walking, in this magnificent city, trying to feel history every where. You might even here the swords of the musketeers, Napoléon: left to great cheering from his audience or the scratch of Baudelaire's pencil. Only 68 rue Saint-louis-en-l'île can make you fille this. Thanks to Paris and this apartment: a very special place.

  • We spent April in Paris and staying in this lovely apartment was a highlight of our trip! I had the pleasure of spending time with my adult daughters and 3 girlfriends to sight see and dine in France. The neighborhood is delightful and full of wonderful things to do and see! Go and enjoy! The garden was truly the place to be!
