My father in law has an apartment just a few blocks away from this hotel, so I am very familiar with the fantastic area. My son's girlfriend was planning on meeting her friend, who was coming from New York with the keys to our family apartment, and her flight was cancelled. I had to quickly find accommodations for my son's girlfriend as she had no place to stay for the night (and had already landed in Paris). I sent a message to Xavier along with a request to book for my son's girlfriend, and received an immediate response and acceptance! Isabelle was thrilled with the place. The area (The Latin Quarter, my personal favorite) cannot be beat. Cafes line each street. Charming. Incredible history. A short walk to The Louvre, Cafe de Flore, Jardin de Luxembourg and the Museum there, Notre Dame, Shakespeare Bookstore... Isabelle did request that they change the sheets for some reason (she didn't complain to me so not sure why). And they moved her to a room the size of an apartment! I have walked past many times and I know the lobby was adorable, and from what Isabelle said, the staff were beyond accommodating to any request she had. I would highly recommend this place. If it was good enough for Simone de Beauvoir, certainly good enough for us mere mortals. And I have passed by many a 'budget hotel' in the neighborhood...and the lobbies just looked shady and cheap with grumpy front desk people. This place looks welcoming and beyond comfy. I know Isabelle was very happy with her stay. Thank you, Xavier and Igor!
