*We had originally booked with a different host but that apartment turned out to be full of black mold and smelly so we needed a new place to stay and fast! Ludovic came to our rescue and FAST! Within minutes he had responded to our inquiry and set up a last minute early check-in. What a kind and remarkable gentleman! Check in and out wasn’t only easy it was actually pleasurable. A great gentleman named Gregory met us in front of the apartment and carried my luggage. He toured the apartment for us and even turned the water and tv on to make sure everything was working properly. He didn’t leave us until we were successfully on the provided wifi and he generously texted us restaurants and markets to visit during our stay. We felt like he was there if we needed anything. The location of this apartment is IDEAL. The decor is warm, upbeat, bright and really cheerful! Entering the building is so easy with the key fob. The stairs to the apartment are not only beautiful but also easy to navigate, even after strolling the streets of Paris all day. That being said, there is an elevator so you only have to use the stairs if you want to! The bathroom is quaint as the door hits the toilet and it’s a small place to sit, we thought it was fun. The bathtub is great but watch your water use as we ran out of hot water until we learned how to work with what’s available. Showers are better than baths as far as a lot of hot water is concerned. The bedroom is upstairs in the loft and don’t worry about the stairs, they are easy to climb and feel sturdy and safe going up or down. The bed was hard for me but perfect for my boyfriend. The pillows were the most comfortable pillows I’ve ever used. The couch proved to be a fine place to sleep when we discovered that sharing the bed upstairs wasn’t going to be as comfortable as we’re used to. We normally sleep in a king sized bed and this felt smaller than what’s considered a queen back home. Because the apartment is so well laid out this minor issue of separate sleeping didn’t bother us at all. Plus we know we’re simply just used to a larger bed. The kitchen is open and easy to use. Dishes, coffee makers, toaster and range top work great. Be prepared to purchase everything needed to make a meal except pots and utensils which are provided. Oil, salt and pepper, coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, hand/dish soap, etc were not provided. (That may change so please check with the host before assuming things are the same as they were for us :) There are several wonderful markets nearby, really close, so as long as you remember to purchase these things it’s not difficult to do. What is most surprising about this apartment is how...
