I felt very well in this very tasteful and modern apartment. The combination of mirrored walls, the dominant color white and the antique beamed ceiling make for an attractive mix of style influences and times. Up the steep stairs you’ll find a very lovely bathroom with a great shower as well as the sleeping area in the mezzanine. The bed is super comfy- I slept like a baby, also thanks to the pedestrian street in front of the window which is very silent at all times (a great plus considering that you are right in the center of Paris). Upstairs, the massive three-hundred-year-old "grandfather" beam defines the space, you have to bow in front of them (to pass). Those who forget will be reminded painfully. -TOCK!-
I quickly got used to paying attention under the lower beamed ceiling upstairs. The apartment was sparkling clean and everything brand new. The location is a dream come true, 1min to Centre Pompidou, around the corner the Tiguely-fountain where young Parisians meet,an organic shop, a supermarket, café’s and restaurants all around, the Seine River 4min down the street.
Dealing with my host Justin was very easy, my last minute booking went smoothly. I got a most friendly welcome and perfect introduction to the apartment and the area around it. The experience in one word: Perfect!
I’ll be back.
