Absolutely outstanding location! Easy to catch multiple metro lines and walking distance (a mile or less) to multiple fabulous sites, especially the Tuileries Gardens and the Musee d'Orsay, which is just a couple short blocks away. Louis is a great host in all respects. He responded clearly and quickly, he left clear information and tips for his apartment as well as the area. The living area is a nice size, plenty of space and comfortable. The bedroom is a loft, so there are stairs (without a railing) to climb and although there is plenty of headroom, you can't stand up. It was surprisingly cozy though and quite comfortable. Just don't plan on dressing there. The bathroom is very small, as I suppose most bathrooms are outside of the U.S. That was probably the part that took the most getting used to--don't plan on dressing there either! The kitchen seemed fine, but I didn't really use it to cook anything. The studio is on the first floor, which means there is just one short flight of stairs -- this was quite nice after a long day. The building itself is extremely quiet. There are a mix of commercial & residential buildings on the street, which makes it very charming as well as convenient and certainly didn't cause any noise or issues. Excellent boulangerie at the end of the street, chocolate & cheese shop as well. I had a great stay.
