Hervé's studio is an absolute treasure. The sweet Saint Paul location could genuinely not be better, just steps from Place des Vosges, the Seine, Bastille (and the best marché in Paris!) and all the action in the Marais (without being stuck in the middle of the tourist crowds). The flat is quiet and bright, with an incredible view of the neighboring rooftops, and the elevator is a rare bonus. It was fully furnished with everything I might need for a long stay, from cooking spices to laundry detergent to a salad spinner. The flat alone is quite a find - and then there is the host!
Hervé is the most thoughtful and attentive host I've encountered in my years on this platform. He was very quick to respond to any and all questions, and extremely accommodating with my arrival and departure schedule. He provided excellent recommendations based on my interests (which he took time to inquire about) and left plenty of goodies to welcome me.
I very much look forward to staying chez Hervé on my next trip!
