I have been to Paris before, the last time I stayed at a 5 star hotel, around the corner from 178 Rue de Rivoli. This stay was for 11 nights, I thought it would be more cost effective to rent an apartment than staying at a hotel. Staying in a hotel before, I felt like a guest in Paris. This time I wanted to live life as a Parisian, to be part of a community.

When I arrived I was met by an agent, Margot, who when I knocked on the high, carved, beautiful wooden doors at 178 Rue de Rivoli, opened the one side and I was admitted to the 12 foot long stone paved archway that led to a small courtyard. I felt I was stepping back in time.

If you are looking for a Parisian experience that is in one of the best neighborhoods, an authentic Haussmann building, modern, clean fully equipped studio apartment, this is a perfect fit. Small, very basic, but has everything you need and you can’t get a better location.
By the end of my stay when I walked down Rue de Rivoli the shop keepers would smile, nod and say Bon jour. I felt at home.
Thank you and I hope to return another time. I would recommend this studio to anyone.
