This little apartment is fantastic. There's a lift and then one flight of stairs, and then you're in this magical little alcove in the roof. It's kind of amazing. And the view of the Eiffel Tower at night is actually way more impressive than in the photos. (It may just be the top of the tower, but that's where the search light is.) More importantly, though: it has everything you'll need -- desk, stove, shower, microwave -- and just as thoughtfully squeezed together as on a boat.
Oh, and Laurent is a wonderful host. He met me at the apartment – there are a couple things that need explaining to new guests – and we ended up chatting for a while. Super nice – wish we could have hung out for longer!
There's no WiFi, as he says, but there are plenty of coffee shops and such in the area.
