Lou's apartment is a warm and delightful home in which to stay. The dining room in particular is a special place to gather for conversation and enjoy meals. There is great light in the apartment during the day, and the beds are warm and comfortable at night, with a huge master bed that is hard to find in Paris hotels or apartments. We slept very well as the block is very quiet at night. The bathroom is large with two sinks and an enormous tub with shower. We were very happy to have all the appliances, and made use of the stove, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer. The hairdryer is strong and efficient, and there is plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The elevator is handy, but if you want to use the stairs, they are well lit and easy to climb and descend. The people in the building are friendly and helpful, we met several of the residents, who made us feel at home, and I enjoyed my encounters with all the neighbors I met in the building. Lou has many interesting art objects and books throughout the apartment, and has created a sophisticated yet cozy environment that enhanced our visit.
