The studio on Quai de la Tournelle is so fabulous on every dimension, it deserves a seven star rating. It is spacious, elegant, thoughtfully equipped and beautifully arranged. The kitchen has all the latest high-end appliances: dishwasher, refrigerator with freezer, washer, dryer, counter-mounted sink with faucet-sprayer, induction stovetop, and choice of coffee makers. The L-shaped with a living area is comfortably furnished with sofa, circular movable coffee tables, end tables, armchairs, Maps carefully marked with all the restaurants, bakeries, markets and shops are on the entrance table. Lovely natural sunlight beams through windows & double doors open out onto a patio and large, private, well-landscaped, private back yard. The dining table can seat four and the queen bed is exceptionally comfortable. A great series of maps and guidebooks about Paris are in the bookcase near a cubby desk.
The location could not be better. It is across the street from the Seine the Quai combines a beautiful Parisian neighborhood in the 5th arrondissement and riverside walk. It is one block from St. Germaine, 2 or 3 from Notre Dame, & one bridge from the elegant Ile San Luis. It is walking distance from pretty much everywhere: the Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre, the Luxembourg Gardens, the shopping districts. I have visited Paris often and this is the best ever: a treasure of a place. So are the hosts. Eric & Alexandra will do everything they can to make your stay truly extraordinary.
