This is truly a little secret paradise in Paris. The loft was exactly how it is described. It is super cozy, warm, filled with beautiful vintage furniture. The private terrace is amazing during the warm weather, and is truly private (there is only one neighbor to the left of you, hidden away from sight by plants). The covered courtyard is straight out of a retro interior design book, that's how special and unique it feels. Valerie herself is a very welcoming and communicative host. She informed us about everything we needed to know, and even called us when we couldn't immediately find the right access into the loft. She even left some French pastry for us on the kitchen table. I felt you could ask her anything, and she would immediately respond with a warm heart. I almost wish I didn't write this review, because it would maybe mean this place is now fully booked for all eternity and I can't go back. But fair is fair: this little loft is a true gem and place of peace and quiet in an otherwise busy and bristling Paris.
