I fell in love with this place the moment I walked into it. In a pinch with nowhere to stay on a surprise long layover, Etienne and Sylvie opened their home to me. I was able to take the train from the airport to Gare du Nord station, where Etienne very kindly met me. The loft is only a few blocks away from the station, and is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Paris. Montmartre is a very welcoming and historic part of town, and the loft is only a five minute walk from Sacre Coeur Basilica (one of my favorite spots in Paris)! Their flat is very easy to get to, as there are multiple metro stations and a bus route nearby that will take you all over Paris. Etienne and Sylvie made sure that I had everything that I needed and I was well informed about the city, prepared with transportation maps and tips on what to see while I was there. The breakfast they served was absolutely lovely, complete with fresh fruit, croissants, and coffee! The room is very clean and spacious, and includes a private bathroom and a small balcony that overlooks a garden. I really enjoyed having the ability to lock my door and keep the key with me for security purposes, not that I can ever imagine that being an issue with there two wonderful hosts. I was lucky to have had these two beautiful people open their home to me, and I will definitely want to stay with them again when I am able to return to Paris.
