The description of the property is extremely accurate. The walk down the private pathway and in the opposite courtyard is simply amazing--old buildings and scores of plants greet the visitor. The property is small (just for two people), but that is the charm of the place. The bed is in a loft, there is a sitting area on the second (American counting) floor and on the ground floor, where the kitchen and toilet are located. The shower is between the ground and second (American counting) floor. Surrounding the visitor at every turn are books and art that make one feel at home or in a typical Parisian intellectual atmosphere. Nearby restaurants and stores have every service we needed. The Metro is a short walk. Also nearby are a Gothic church and a Roman amphitheater. We loved the property and hope to return.
