This flat is lovely and full of delicious sunlight. The design is modern and ingenious, and the decoration is warm and inviting, with neutral colors mixed with natural and wood textures, as well as touches of sage green, that make it very relaxing and soothing. Marie has exquisite decorating taste, as is shown in all the little details throughout the flat, with black-and-white photography, enchanting Moroccan dinner plates, rattan and wood items all combining to create a homey, cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere.
The kitchen is a clever use of space and super-modern, and the bathroom has a huge bath/shower and excellent lighting. The windows are large and lovely, the bed super-comfortable. The building itself in which the flat is located is full of charm, as you walk through the street door to a cobblestoned patio to get to the lift. However, taking the stairs instead is pure pleasure, as they are made of heartbreakingly beautiful wood worn smooth and polished by decades of footsteps, and your hand rests on an ornate railing which is also a delight.
The location is right in the heart of the city and walking distance from the Seine and Musée d'Orsay, but the flat is quiet and peaceful. Marie was an incredibly attentive and helpful host, who really put herself out to make our arrival (2 guests arriving at inconveniently different times) smooth and non-stressful. I really can't recommend this flat enough.
