Lory’s apartment is both beautiful and very functional, containing all that one might need during one's visit. Altogether I was quite pleased with my stay. The place is exactly like the photos, except that there is not as much wardrobe space as one might assume based on the photos (there is no wardrobe space behind the doors in the bedroom). The sofa is in great shape and the bed is very comfortable. The location is great and very close to the metro. At first I was concerned that the place might be too noisy at night due to its location in the middle of a lively tourist area, but that turned out not to be the case. Check-in and check-out went very smoothly. Lory’s assistant Vincent was very helpful and responded always very quickly to any of my concerns. I was staying July-August when Paris was experiencing record temperatures and so the apartment was at times quite hot. The shower was type handheld. The stairs do offer a challenge when carrying one’s luggage. From a security point of view, the place seemed safe.
