I can’t believe my incredibly great luck with Airbnb continues. Each time I stay somewhere and think things couldn’t possibly get any better, I luck out and find a place that is as at least as good as the last place I stayed. Tancrède’s apartment is exact proof of what I mean by that - Extremely comfortable for one or two, all the modern amenities, and then some – Need a heated bathroom floor? Got it! High-def projector with surround sound? Got it! Bluetooth speakers in the sauna with high-pressure shower? He’s got it! Come on, Tancrède! Could you possibly make your place any more perfectly comfortable?! That is not a challenge, as I’m sure you could probably find a way to actually improve upon your already perfect apartment. The hard work and ingenuity you have put into your home is absolutely mind-boggling.
Plus, the location is perfect, as well. Right in the heart of the 5th District and Latin Quarter, there is everything anyone would want to find in Paris just a few minutes’ walk away. (I couldn’t resist the Breakfast In America restaurant just around the corner - Large portions of good American food all day long at a decent price. Highly recommend.).
Also, the view from the top-floor apartment is astounding, as well. It’s just a view of the Saint Bernardin monastery and a nice glimpse of Notre Dame Cathedral, but is “par for the course” compared with the apartment interior – Shades of blue sky and blue sofa and chair with the industrial glass, steel and wood make this place a pleasure for the eyes and the soul. Thank you, Tancrède, for allowing us mere mortals to share your vision of what living the good life should and can be.
I would most humbly recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to stay here to do so at their earliest convenience. I will always look for Tancrède whenever I pass through Paris again. His apartment is a reflection of the kind and smart spirit that makes us appreciate all that Paris, and France, has to offer. Thank you, Tancrède, for offering some rest to a weary traveller.
