I knew when I made plans to be in Paris for a month that I needed a quiet, safe space to stay. This room was exactly what I needed, and I was very comfortable there. I was surprised to see it was a loft room, as I had not realized that when I booked it. The bathroom was downstairs, down a little circular staircase which was fine for me, but could be a problem for people with limited mobility. The host smoked, which is also something to be aware of if you are not used to that. The busy city streets were just through two coded doors, and the metro was two blocks away. Restaurants, bakeries, and neighborhood grocery stores were within a block. Yet, inside the house felt very nice and private, and the garden was lovely. I was provided a continental breakfast every day, and the hosts were kindly flexible with my erratic schedule. I found a kindred artistic soul in Gérard and a capable and hospitable host in Yannick.
