Stylish, sunny & very comfortable top-floor loft conveniently located on a residential cul-de-sac in the 11th arrondissement. Metro and bus lines to the rest of the city are only a few blocks away, as well as anything you might want easy access to for an extended stay: post office, DVD rental store, supermarket, patisserie, fromagerie, charcuterie, several wine bars, brasseries and all the shabby-chic nightlife offferings of nearby Oberkampf.

Weekday mornings were a bit loud with the windows open as there's a auto shop at the end of the block but it's nothing a pair of ear plugs or white noise maker can't handle, and the bed is wonderfully comfortable. The loft is on the 4th floor and like many places in Paris there is no elevator so while it poses a challenge for those with mobility issues or lots of luggage it certainly helps burn off the cheese and pastries calories.

Lilou was a lovely host and even brought me a croissant on my final morning. She was responsive by email and even available by cell to help me when I had difficulty finding the address. I would stay here again any time!
