Not exactly as pictured, but pretty close—I believe Laurent rents out a few suites in this building, so the photos here are of a different suite in the same building. In any case, there are enough similarities that the photos are a close representation of this suite. Newly renovated building, modern décor, and brand new furnishings complement the charming original wood flooring to give this place a trendy, “young Parisian” flair. We especially loved the little sitting area just off the dining room. Great place to enjoy morning coffee, work during the day, and read at night. The beds are comfortable, and everything is very clean. The shared laundry is down one flight of stairs, and was very convenient—having access to a dryer is quite rare in Paris, so we really appreciated that. Another unexpected perk was the towel heater in the bathroom. Such a luxury!
Location is great, with bakeries and cafes in every direction. (They're all closed on Sundays, FYI.) We were able to walk everywhere—the Eiffel Tower is an hour away, the Louvre is half an hour away, and (for my fellow bookstore lovers), Shakespeare & Co is just 20 minutes away—all on foot.
Laurent was there to meet us when we arrived and was immediately reachable when we had questions. Overall, a great stay with a great host. Highly recommended!
