We can not recommend Norbert’s warm, unique and welcoming home highly enough.
We stayed there for four nights, as we were looking for somewhere to work in Paris (we are a writer and director working on a script).
Everything from the view of the Eiffel Tower, to the beautiful light in the apartment was perfect and conducive to our work.
I am very fond of the neighbourhood, and Norbert has some excellent local recommendations for bakeries and restaurants. Also where not to go for lunch!
The apartment is individual, beautifully furnished, and full of wonderful books - Norbert shared some art books with us, and a great story about the artist Yves Klein, who once lived in the building.
There is a nespresso machine with lots of capsules, many toiletries, towels and even a hairdryer. It is scrupulously clean, and there is an easy-to-use washing machine.
Norbert greeted us on arrival. Spoke excellent English and tolerated my horrible French. He was kindly flexible about our check-out time.
On a personal note, there is a superb yoga studio over the street!
