Laura and Richard are thoughtful and caring hosts. Their communication was excellent, with fast helpful responses before and during our stay. The flat is very Parisian — it is small but functional with everything that is needed. The bed is very comfortable and the fold out couch is, well, a fold out couch. For being in such an ideal location right near the Bastille, it is amazingly quiet. It is such a relaxing feeling to open the door to the cour and enter. As soon as that door closes the noise and the busyness of the city fades away. We very much enjoyed our stay.
