We loved our stay at the luxury cozy Lourve apartment. Check in was seamless as the host Mehdi provided perfect directions and met us when we arrived around 2:30 pm. He showed us all of the features of the apartment and the setup was perfect for 3 adults and two teenagers. Medhi gave us a great tour of the neighborhood which was extremely helpful for us to get oriented to the area. The neighborhood was a highlight of our trip. The grocery store and bakery are a 2 minute walk and the Rue Montorgueil is a block and a half away. The Rue Montorgueil is a pedestrian street renowned for its food shops, cafes and restaurants. Don’t miss the Stohrer bakery for incredible pastries and cakes. We appreciated that despite the apartments proximity to a bustling pedestrian area, filled with locals (and a few tourists), the apartment is on a quiet residential side street. It was very easy to navigate Paris with several metro stations including Sentier, Etienne Marcel and Les Halles within a 6 minute walk. Our favorite part of the apartment was the wide open living and dining area where we could all gather and enjoy a “picnic” style dinner of cheese, bread, wine, sausage and produce purchased nearby after a long day on our feet! Read the other reviews about the setup of the apartment as two of the bedrooms are in lofted areas with stairs that could be challenging for young children or those with mobility issues (but were perfect for 2 teenagers). We can’t wait to go back!
