Iris was in tune with my itinerary plans and answered questions before arrival. Her cohost Stephane greeted with intro of accommodations and histrionic overview of home. He provided helpful advice for securing the apartment vintage doors and windows. Although, I did badly bruise a finger on the turn lock for the bulding’s exit glass door. Be careful there. This salon is the perfect solution for solo traveler, like myself. Safe and quiet street after dark. One morning the building had exterior construction noise, but the host wasnt aware of the scheduled exterior work. The police station is across the street. Many lavish and thoughtful treats and amenities are available en suite. Ask about TV and iron, as some items were creatively blended into decor. The bed was very comfortable. The high quality egyptian sheets were soft. I visited during the heated summer month. There is a great quality oscillating fan to keep you cool. I’d recommend an additonal fan so both rooms could stay cool. The clawfoot tub was dreamy. Hosts were gracious and welcoming. Really enjoyed the vintage artistry; park views; art books and magazines. The interior design made memorable selfies. The salon has everything you could possibly desire - better than a hotel. Cafés, markets and no hassle transportation available. Ideal location for 1st time visit to Paris!
