This beautiful loft looks like a picture out of Elle Decor magazine, very attractive and well designed with creative storage areas which gave me ideas for my own home. Exactly as the photos show and very airy and bright with two walls of windows. Enjoyed my morning coffee at the 60's style dining table looking out over the Paris rooftops. Took an early morning stroll to Pere Lachaisse cemetary afew minutes walk from the apartment and paid my respects to Jim Morrison. Also noticed a fresh grave nearby with photos of a young woman, was sad she died so young and reading the gravestone found she was a victim of last years massacre at the concert hall. As a musician I am sure the massacre hit Arnaud especially hard and I hope the future of Paris is much brighter. HE was an excellent host there right on time for the key exchange and showed me how to operate coffemaker and left detailed instructions about the apartment and info about nearby sights and restaurants. There is a place next door that sells croissants and very good sandwiches to go and several groceries within a block. The area is safe and the Metro directly across the street. You need a little agility to stay here as its up 5 flights of stairs and you need to climb the spiral staircase to the loft but for most people it would be just fine.
