We had a great time in this space. From the beautiful park across the street to the wonderful organ concerts at St Sulpice the location could not be better. Bon Marche is two blocks away. Nearby there is a famous open air market. three times a week. Chauffeur driven cars drop off their wealthy patrons to buy organic fruits, vegetables and meats there. Bring your camera. Transportation is very good in Paris. We found the buses easy to use and very well marked. There are so many open air cafes nearby to sit at and watch the world go by. (and what a world). We stayed very busy the week we were there and Ben seems determined to make his loft with even more improvements. Bon Voyage!
