Mathieu's place is a haven in Paris. Just as described, it is in a second courtyard and overlooks a very quiet space in front of a neighbouring building which has no traffic whatsoever. I stayed during a weekend (Fri-Mon) and felt as if I were in the countryside it was so quiet (really). The neighbours mist have been away all weekend as they made nary a noise. The photos are accurate. This is a very large suite for Paris made larger by the 11 foot ceilings. Its square footage would be considered large for some urban North American cities like NY or Vancouver. This someone's home and is decorated with carefully curated furniture and books. It is not a sterile Airbnb but rather a place where you can absorb the Parisien spirit. Steps to both major train stations and a 25-45 minute walk if you are inclined to explore by foot. Mathieu's an attentive and considerate host who ensures you can reach him easily during the stay. If you are a light sleeper or otherwise seeking quiet, this is your place.
